Wow is right! Yikes! I'd be thinking of moving in the not too distant future.

I live in Washington not far from this. I was reading an article that says they aren't sure why this landslide occured, since we haven't had any heavy rain around here. Usually the heavy rains we get are what causes the landslides in this area. A man that I work with has a house just 4 houses down from where this slide took out the road.

What a huge mass of Earth!

I know someone that lives in that general area -- one of my FaceBook friends. I don't think she lives right where this happened, but "Whidbey Island" sounds familiar for some reason. I am going to keep an eye on her FB page.

They are one of the most iconic symbols of British independence and the inspiration for one of the most famous wartime songs.

The symbols of "British independence" are crumbling... How more symbolic can it get?

Indeed. And I guess we will see more of these symbols in the next months...
