Portland, Oregon House Slides Down Hill
By: Diane Tuman, Content Manager | October 8, 2008

The home on 6438 SW Burlingame Place, Portland, OR, is said to be on a 45-degree hillside and recent rains may have caused the slide. This CNN video of the landslide scene (the audio starts at 0:24) shows part of the driveway still intact, but the scene of devastation down the hill involves the house, concrete slabs and a car.
