SV ROCKSLIDE – UPDATE 03-22-11 17:30 a.v.

Engineers in Scotts Valley are trying to determine how to remove an avalanche of sandstone that isolated at least 26 homes as of Monday afternoon. The rockslide happened around 2 p.m. off Nelson Road near Skymeadow Lane. The 100-feet wide and 200 feet long pile of rock and mud slid down a hillside, leaving a 30-foot-deep pile of debris covering Nelson Road. Authorities today began widening a trail for all-terrain vehicles to reach those trapped inside the  homes.
