If built correctly, the mudslide should have no affect on a house's foundation. My house is built on a hillside (though not with those frightening pillars - they scare even me!) but it's built on concrete pilings that go down 40 feet into the bedrock. It's rock and not "mud," of course, but even if the hillside that our house was built on were to wash away, the house would still be standing on its foundation supports.
Exactly what happened to my old house...before it burned in the Oakland Hills fire.
having a home burn, losing a spouse or child, or a divorce. how on earth does one survive such and continue living?
Is your question serious? Do you really consider those things equal? I'm divorced, as are other board members, and have survived and continued living. I don't consider that anywhere close to the same thing as losing a child or spouse. Losing a child or your spouse must be about the hardest thing anyone could go through. A divorce is definitely traumatic and life altering, but I still don't think it's the same.
having not experienced divorce personally, i really dont know about its psychological impact, but i would expect it to be a severe blow.
i am twice a widower.
