Caption This is another clear-cut slope that sustained extensive slides during the storm. Studies indicate that landslides frequently occur in unlogged forests but happen with greater frequency in logged-off lands. Major storms, such as the one that hit earlier this month, often are the triggers for slides and debris flows that — as they travel downhill and gather momentum rip out rocks, root wads and other material. --seattle times

Don’t see the problem. No houses or roads were flattened. I mean to say, “serious” problem. If this is a relatively unique event, it is even less so.

I wonder how far this is from Mt. St Helens?

[Does so]

When I was in grade school, I was told that treecutters always left one of the tallest, strongest trees to naturally re-forest the area.

I was lied to?
