Fear and frus­tra­tion are mount­ing in East­ern Quar­ry, Laven­tille, where res­i­dents are voic­ing deep con­cern over po­ten­tial land­slides and un­sta­ble slopes threat­en­ing their homes.

This comes af­ter a re­tain­ing wall col­lapsed on­to the home of a 44-year-old woman on Sun­day, dis­plac­ing her and leav­ing her to grap­ple with trau­ma and in­juries to her legs.

De­bra Woods told Guardian Me­dia on Mon­day she was thank­ful to be alive, af­ter heavy rain­fall over the week­end caused the re­tain­ing wall at an ad­ja­cent home to crash on­to her prop­er­ty on Sun­day.
