San Diego/San Francisco
- A hillside partially collapsed in San Diego on
Wednesday, ripping a 50-metre-gash in a road and
threatening to destroy up to a dozen luxury homes.
Emergency officials ordered the homes evacuated as city
geologists worked to ascertain the extent of the damage
and the probability of further collapses, said Maurice
Luque, a spokesman for the San Diego Fire-Rescue
Department.

"This area has had some slide problems dating
back a number of years," Luque told Deutsche
Presse-Agentur dpa. "The problems are not new to this
area."

"We are working very closely with the city
geologist," Luque said. "This is a very fluid
situation."
