No injuries in Juneau tree / mudslide

A tree and landslide debris lie across Gastineau Avenue after falling between two homes and crushing a vehicle in downtown Juneau on Sept. 26. "It looks as though it's predominantly a tree fall, a giant tree came out, took the roots out and as it came down the hill it took mud with it, but it's far more tree debris than mud debris," said Juneau emergency program manager Tom Mattice. "We're digging into it now but it was definitely a big tree fall and not our typical mudslide event." No one was injured in the slide, which came as heavy rains soaked the hillside. The debris damaged three homes.
