Kira Erickson reports:
[A] large landslide occurred Saturday evening, a mere 40 yards away from a waterfront home located near Noblecliff Place. At least three large trees were involved in the slide, which tumbled down a 100-foot cliff before coming to a rest near a narrow beach.
The city’s notoriously sandy bluffs are known for slippage. Earlier this month, Mayor Scott Chaplin pointed to some bluff erosion near First Street on city-owned property as an area of concern.
They Said It
“Whoever lived there, I would be very nervous to be near the end of their property line,” [Mayor Scott] Chaplin observed. “It’s a very steep drop-off.”
