Mount Soledad Mountain, Hillside Collapse near San Diego

The 822-foot-tall hill lies between Interstate 5 to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Tragic news for the people of San Diego and La Jolla. Mt. Soledad National War Memorial mountain has a portion of that very hill tragically slipping and buckling into the earth. It has bee speculated that Mt. Soledad rests across the fault line that Californians dread.

Five years ago, I had my first date on Mt. Soledad with my husband, and he also proposed to me on that very same spot. For myself and many others in this town, that very mountain holds so many memories for each of here. The Mt. Soledad National War Memorial is held there, it is the perfect date spot for lovers in the beautiful town, and on a religious aspects it obviously holds near and dear to the many Christians who support and pray this hill does indeed not fall further affecting the cross, and peoples homes and lives.

It is stated that nobody is hurt, and that 7 homes have this far have been evacuated. One home has collapsed completely as the surrounding homes near it have started to buckle in the roof, their decks, and windows protruding outward into the earth air ready to fall and collapse at any given moment. The city has stated they do not know what the cause of this is at this point in time, and that power has been regained to some 2000 people, leaving only 400 homes left without electricity at this point.

Late yesterday evening the people of the street with the most damage had received a letter approximately around 7pm letting them know that there seemed to be something going on with their area. I can tell you no one in this town could have ever guessed or prepared that this is what the city meant by their extremely vague not in the late eve of last night to the residents of Mt. Soledad hill.
