The mud caused that? Or was it just the flood itself?

That car is clearly exceeding its cargo carrying capacity.

The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again. I'm with the enviroweenies on this one. Patterned cutting leaving sections untouched would (probably- I'm no geological expert) have lessened the slides and prevented damage.

It is tough to balance between the "never cut anything" wackos and the "clear cut everything 'cause I don't live there anyway" corporate interests, but it is in our own best interest to do so.

Did the 129 mph winds or the mudslide cause that?
