Thinking about the news out of Whidbey Island and hoping everyone's okay. 

Residents were evacuated and about 400 to 500 yeards of earth gave way. Check the full story HERE. I grew up near an area were landslides were scary stuff - sometimes lethal - between January and March during heavy rainfall. It's a reminder why we need to carefully examine shoreline buffers and steep slopes when it comes to new development although in many slides houses are grandfathered in with old septic systems that can create slide conditions.
