NORTH SALT LAKE, Utah — A news crew from ABC 22/FOX 45 sister station KUTV was first on the scene and captured this amazing video of a land slide in a North Salt Lake neighborhood.
A neighborhood has been evacuated after a landslide crushed a home early Tuesday morning.
Officials are concerned the slide is threatening other homes in the area. Residents have been asked to grab essential items from their homes and to leave to a safe area while crews assess the situation.
Any residents in need of assistance are being directed to a safe location, where crews will have supplies available.
The incident started about a week and a half ago, on the hill above the Eagle Ridge Tennis and Swim Club on Parkway Drive. Neighbors say they noticed the earth begin to move when a developer began prepping several lots at the top of the hill.
The developer and the city of North Salt Lake have been working together to figure out what to do next. City Manager Barry Edwards told 2News reporter Chris Jones on Monday it is not a matter of “if” but “when” the earth would slide off the mountain.

This is why you plant trees.
Get your money back from whoever put up that retaining wall!
I grew up in Salt Lake, and when I was a kid, you were not allowed to build on those mountains because they were unsafe.
Rich people problems. But then again, it kind their fault. They build a huge home on the side of a mountain or hill. They cut down the trees that prevent rain from erode the earth. Build fake lake and build tennis courts, so a lot of pressure on the grounds around the home. Oh, right, how many miles of pipeline must be dug to get water gas. In the Los gatos area they had to build retainment wall on the highway to stop the landslides
Neighbors coming together. You don’t see that in specific neighborhoods. They’d be looting that house.
i'll bet the other houses are next
No different than being allowed to build on the Outer Banks or in NO. Neither should be allowed. The Ocean or the Gulf along with Hurricane fill in the blank will eventually have it’s way with whatever is built.
Did the builder not have to have the engineers and local government sign off on this project. I don't know how it works in the states
Tremors Are A Real Thing….
Hahaha…you need to pay attention…
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what you get for taking all the trees and have no roots to hold the dirt. Stop crying. You have insurance lmao
Wasn’t the song…
😢😢😢😢😢
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love it when people live near oceans, mountains known for slides, or any obvious threatening phenomena…then express shock when things go south. These are the tards who pose next to wild animals then. Express shock when the animal eats an arm…..no, folks, never weep for the stupid….remember it is THE STUPIDS WHO…UNFORTUNATELY….keep reproducing.
Good neighbors.
Haven't I've seen this movie?
Immigration issues 2025! A different kettle of fish!
What a genius move to build a home up against a mountain.
That's what you get when you cut into the base of a hill to build your houses. Not very smart. Respect nature. Too many humans, too many homes.
Gravity and mother nature you can't beat it!
Horrifying bro
