Landslide crashes into Dunedin house, New Zealand

Five students living in a Dunedin house had an early wake-up call this morning when a mud bank gave way and crashed into the side of their flat.

 

The slip occurred around 4am, prompting police to evacuate the five students who were sleeping at the time.

 

The landlord of the Queen St property says he had warned authorities about the potential for a slip after heavy rain over the Easter period.

 

The shaken occupants haven’t been left out in the cold – the landlord has put them up in a hotel until new accommodation can be found.
