After 72 hours and 12 inches of rain, at 12:30am on 9/12/13, the tall mountain let loose and gave way in a massive rock slide that knocked my parents home 10 feet off it's foundation, and down the mountain side, crushing the entire lower level, trapping my Father in a 2 foot high 3x3 area.

A massive gas leak filled the house and flooding water filled lower level of the house. My father was rescued by 4 neighbors who heroically used axes and saws to cut through the upper floor into the exact right location and pull my Father from an unbelievably small pocket of space that was flooded, dark and small. Everyone escaped unharmed. An unreal outcome to the most horrible of scenarios.
