Any DUers have to be evacuated?

1. What caused it?

2. Errosion? Fault? Beats the heck outta me. No one I've heard has

ventured a guess yet.

3. I will, that mountain is not that

geologically stable

And the way the houses and plots were created 30 and 40 years ago, didn't help

empty, and fill method

If I had the money I would not buy in that area even if it was a super deal

4. I did hear that about the lined up stairstepping causing stress.

Nope I wouldn't wanna house on that either.

5. If I had that kind of money, I would buy there,

at least close to the coast. I don't know where in LaJolla this happened.

6. Soledad Mountain Road

Here's a link from the Union Tribune. Seems it was a slide prone area.

7. Woops?

"The ground gave way beneath contractors who were manning drilling rigs and installing high-tech devices to measure the hillside's movement and they had to scramble to safety." Drilling. Wonder how big the hole was?

8. The mountaiin, ok, if you want to call

it a mouuntain, has wonderful views of the ocean.

It is also smack dab in the middle of a fault

Hell that is the home of the famous Soledad Mountain Cross

(Now if that one went down...)
