Up­per Rich Plain Road, Diego Mar­tin, res­i­dent Brew­ster Rogers said he want­ed to wait his turn for as­sis­tance from the au­thor­i­ties in­stead of com­plain­ing. How­ev­er, he fears that the next heavy rain­fall could cause his home to come crash­ing down.

“At the same time, I know every­body will be over­whelmed with re­ports and stuff like that, so I don’t want to be the one com­plain­ing. But if my house goes down the road, what will hap­pen to the neigh­bours high­er up?” he asked, ex­plain­ing that this is his biggest fear.

In an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia ear­li­er this morn­ing, Rogers said the slip­page be­gan last Wednes­day but was cleared by work­ers of the Re­gion­al Cor­po­ra­tion.
