As we were reminded over the weekend, "Landslide" is not just a catchy
tune written by Stevie Nicks. Landslides "occur in all 50 states and
U.S. territories, and cause $1-2 billion in damages and more than 25
fatalities on average each year." The U.S. Geological Survey monitors
landslides and offers a great deal of information about them on their
Landslide Hazards Program page:

Take a look and be prepared in case a rain-soaked hillside tries to strangle you.
