That has been an incredible shot on the occurrence of a complex landslide. No fatalities, no damaged buildings so far, the slide area was into a valley with previous sliding episodes, only 2 roads have been damaged and a water main.
So far. Intense precipitation triggered the event.
you can view some good pics with soil outcrops at teh following link:

More interesting pics.
Geologist are reporting about hi-pressure water with large flow seen along the niche during the main event.
Sliding surface should be inside an evaporitic limestone formation with gypsum and clay-shale beddings.
normal fults are reported in the valley.
