More rain may cause a landslide in Danville

DANVILLE – An engineer believes that more heavy rain could cause a landslide on the bluffs overlooking Ellsworth Park on the west side of Logan Avenue, threatening houses and buildings there.

Some damage has already been done. The most obvious sign can be found in the parking lot of Dr. Bhirom Buranakul's offices at 102 N. Logan Ave. in Danville, where the edge of the asphalt parking lot cracked and dropped by about 4 feet.

On June 9, staff at the doctor's office first noticed about a 2-inch crack on the parking lot's west edge, nearest the steep, vegetation- and tree-covered bluff that overlooks Ellsworth Park.
