Landslide

We were in our brand new house less than a month when a landslide occurred down the street Tuesday morning around 6:30. Sky Properties had been hauling dirt up and down our street for weeks to make certain lots more desirable. Consequently, the added dirt didn't hold up on the steep hill for long. Very slowly, all of the dirt came crashing through the Utrilla family's home in our ward. They were all evacuated and moved to Dave and Laurie's house in safety, but unfortunately had to watch their brand new home, that they owned free and clear, come crashing down. Over the next few days, the other three houses on that side of the street were evacuated and those families have all been put up in model homes or town homes to aid in their comfort. As I am writing this, weeks later, there has still been no change to what they are doing to fix the mudslide because they are having to do constant experimenting to find the exact cause of the problem so to not cause more problem. They are not worried about our home being in danger at all, because we used dynamite to dig our foundation because of all the bedrock, but we are sickened by the fact that our neighbors are hurting at this time. I hope one day everyone involved in the situation will be in a better situation, but until then, our hearts and prayers go out to the families affected.
