Landslide Photo Collections

The Aldercrest-Banyon neighborhood in eastern Kelso, Washington began experiencing gross ground movements in February 1998, following 3-1/2 years of above-average rainfall. The Aldercrest-Banyon landslide was one of the worst urban landslides in U.S. history, causing millions of dollars of damage, in a small bedroom community with a population of less than 12,000 people. The photos in this album were taken by Dr. J. David Rogers, Professional Engineer.
