NY home seen dangling over cliff after landslide
Several families have been displaced in Waterford, N.Y. after a landslide leaves behind a massive crater.
A landslide forced the evacuation of several residents in upstate New York and left homes dangling dangerously close to the edge of a cliff on Sunday.
Photos were taken of the area in Waterford, located about 11 miles northeast of Albany, which saw trees uprooted, much of a driveway destroyed, and one home just inches away from falling into the massive crater.
Authorities were told 150 feet of land slid into the crater and there is concern that more will continue to fall.
