When 400,000 tons of rainsoaked soil traveled down a 35degree slope onto the small seaside town of La Conchita, CA, on January 10, 2005, people saw a watershed in extreme action. After a prolonged period of rain, earth and rock started down the 600-foot bluff behind the town at about 20 miles per hour.
The on-rush destroyed 13 homes and seriously damaged 23 others out of about 200 in the town at the foot. Ten people were killed.
