Ben Lomond Slide: Raw drone video of massive slide above Highway 9 in Santa Cruz Mts. threatening ho

The soil over saturated from a relentless parade of storms creating unstable hillsides in Ben Lomond

[@elainemarks7845]

This winter here in the Santa Cruz Mtns has been brutal 😝

[@felicitasjohnson4514]

I think there are homes accross and bellow. It will sure take some time. Is this the slide they have been working on since beginning of January? Hard work for sure.

[@joshuakuehn]

Yeah they were just about to open it but the most recent storm wrecked the hillside again and they have to start over 😩😩😩

[@mbgrocott7115]

If that is how they are removing the slide material, one small scoop at a time, it is not surprising how long it is taking to get the road back open again. When the tunnel approach to the Bay Bridge was blocked by a slide in the same winter storm, is this the procedure used?

If that was a private project and the inspector saw you washing the mud down your concrete driveway down with water they would red tag your job and give you a ticket for silting up the local creek of stream. Oh well....

It is good to see it looks like the road held up. Clean up the slide and your back in action!

Looks like you’ll be there awhile...scrubbing the palace floor with a toothbrush. 😮

[@moryan6447]

Doing it slow and cautiously because it is unstable.

[@gargar8196]

The neighbors should put some money towards some type of retaining walls for a couple of spots to start with and then expect the worst and hope for the best

[@jeatmon44]

Just dump it over the side for god's sake!
