Monday, August 4, 2008, just south of of where a neighbor has been excavating the slope, a healthy 30-foot pine tree fell. It appears to be unrelated to the excavation. However, the loose soils may have liquefied in the July 29 earthquake, weakening the slope enough so that the roots could not support the weight of the tree a week later.
