A giant fracture in a limestone cliff overlooking Lake Whitney is threatening another luxury home, less than a year after a mansion was burned to the ground before it could collapse and fall into the North Texas lake below.

That’s what I was thinking too - why not have it removed instead of waiting and hoping it will not crack deeper in toward the house before it falls off.
Weird.
Well I suppose there’s an available self sealing grout that could be pumped in there to prolong the inevitable.
time for a cliff splitting party like we do in florida for hurricanes
lets get the ferguson, MO liars telling the cliff, grass up don’t split..accuse the cliff of racism about calling it a crack..then when it breaks off tell the rest of the land mass it has to go too, I mean we cant have a piece of a cliff feeling threatened can we..
Well, there goes the neighborhood
I need more information before I decide if your advice is valuable. Are you an ME, EE, ChemE, Petroleum Engineer? If you're not a CE, then I question your qualifications to render such advice.
TX could really make use of it. Put a frame shack at the bottom of the cliff, put in 5 Death Row prisoners, and wait.
No, they'll go up. They have more lakefront now.
Civil & Agriculural
When it goes, the shock waves are gonna float major lunker bass to the top.. seen it happen.
Hey, nature happens.

That’s what I’m thinking.
I figure one stick of dynamite might end the party to soon.
M-80’s may not be enough.
But, if they picked up a few hundred M-80’s and several cases of beer, they could make a weekend out of it.
Great fun either way.
Any idiot can look at the rest of the shore there and see is is an ongoing cleaving of rock. Building a house within yards of the edge is Darwin material.
The slab immediately above and to the right of the house in that photo appears to be the foundation of the house that was burned last year.
It’d probably be best to abandon every structure on that cul-de-sac.
Might make a nice mini-tsunami when it does go.
It definitely looks as if there was a house there.
That would suggest that regardless of the fire, most of it fell into the lake.
I still think the home will be fine.
Either way, it doesn’t look as though the homes collapse would come without warning.
It does look like the cliff is undercut quite a bit. It also looks like the burned-down house was *right next door*.
No doubt !!!
Surfs up Dude !!!
