Shallow landslides, like the one seen in the video above, usually occur during high intensity rainfall, and it’s difficult to pinpoint why this particular hillside failed days after the last bout of precipitation without a geotechnical report. The bottom line is that these little crumbly slides in our steep, over-saturated hills should become less common the further we get from rain events.
Deep-seated landslides, as they’re known, can occur long after rain stops, as water continues to work its way deep into the soil.
