If you build your home on a hill, don't be surprised if it goes sliding (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-slide5oct05,0,2893922.story?coll=la-home-local)

yup. right up the freeway from here.

its kind of neat in a scary 'geez, I think the earth just moved' sort of way

initially it looked like just another sink hole (if there is such a thing) but from the air, yeah...it slid off there like a sheet of ice.

for those NOT in the know, this isnt the first time for that area. They have had issues since the '60's

The city vows to help rebuild (http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/california/la-me-slide5oct05,0,2067627.story?coll=la-headlines-pe-california). Ok, it sucks your house went down a mountain. But did it ever occur to you that maybe that was natures way of saying it doesn't want homes there?

Maybe they wanted a $5,000,000 sled. ;)
