No, the last slide was as recent as 1995. At that time, the homeowners sued the owner of an orchard atop the bluff for watering his trees too much, and causing the slide! And currently, homeowners in that community have to sign a liability waiver with the county to live there. They KNOW that it is dangerous. Any native californian knows that it is dangerous........i wouldn't VISIT a home at the foot of a bluff, much less live there. That said, it really doesn't make a difference does it? There is still death, and pain involved. My heart goes out to these people right now. Kinda like the Oakland Fire (which in CA you say with capitol letters)We have eucalyptus on our property too, we just keep in 100 feet away from the buildings. (which is about how tall the trees are)
