Homes slide off cliff into Utah canyon, prompting evacuations
CBSN
Six months after a building official in Utah issued a notice revoking certificates for occupancy and requiring evacuation of two homes in Draper, both homes collapsed due to sliding, city officials said Saturday.
The October 2022 notice declared both homes unfit for human habitation and occupancy due to dangerous conditions, which were related to Earth shifting that causes sliding and foundation breaks in homes.
Early Saturday morning, after the two homes collapsed, engineers, building officials and public safety personnel were on site and determined that two additional homes — one on each side of the evacuated homes — should be evacuated, according to a social media post from officials in the city of Draper. Residents of these homes have been notified, officials say, and are evacuating.

A blistering heat wave that recently brought record-breaking temperatures to large sections of the southwestern United States, including several major cities, is forecast to continue this week as it tracks over much of the country on its way toward the East Coast. Meanwhile, meteorologists have warned that powerful storm weather could dump as much as a foot of rain, or more, on parts of Florida and potentially give rise to another round of tornado threats in central states. Metropolitan areas like Chicago may be affected by a possible twister.
After four days of voting, with more than 400 million people eligible across 27 countries, European voters have pulled the bloc's 720-seat parliament farther to the right than it has ever been. The European Parliament, for the next five years, will now have a record number of far-right legislators. Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is typically a springboard for the company to announce new tech features for its software programs, and not as flashy as its yearly September event to trumpet its latest iPhone rollout. But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
