The Earth Moved

People in this area have been absorbing the news of a major landslide on Thursday that crushed part of a small community located along the shores of Kootenay Lake.  The settlement of Johnson's Landing has been cut in two and it appears that 4 people area dead after mud, huge trees and other debris roared down the mountain.  One of many news reports is available here:

We were out last night with a number of friends and the slide, of course, was the major topic of conversation.  Sobering news, indeed.
