The house I lived in before moving to our current one was right above a canal on 400 North. There are trails from my house down the hill to the canal and you can run along it for about a mile before you get to First Dam. It is also a wildlife corador with lots of vegitation. Three or four years ago there was a mudside above the canal and down into some houses because the university was accidentally leaking thousands of gallons of water from pipes near the hillside. To fix it, they lined the whole hillside with bricks in the slide area.
Yesterday the actual canal burst and three people are still missing from the mudeslide. There are lots of people cleaning up the mess this afternoon. I wonder if they got out of church?
