Updated<\/span>: correct landslide location – thanks to various readers (especially Andrew Giles and Steve in ATL) for helping me to get this right – and apologies for the earlier error. <\/span><\/p>\n

I have posted an update to this post <\/span>here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various media agencies (e.g. here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>) are reporting a large landslide at Naches in Yakima County, Washington State, USA, which has blocked state highway. The Seattle Times<\/a> has a spectacular photograph:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
There is also a rather nice (if a little dramatic) video here.<\/p>\n

As can be seen from the above video and picture the slide is large (the news reports suggest half a mile (about 750 m) and large. The slide appears to have come down in good weather.<\/p>\n

The landslide appears to have come off this slope (from Google Earth) (this is now the corrected location<\/span>):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
A couple of very quick observations about this:
1. As a couple of commenters have noted, there appears to be a quarry on the right side of the area that has failed.
2. Above the road there appears to be what could<\/span> be a smaller slump with a large scarp, although the quality of the image is not good enough to tell properly:<\/p>\n
