VIDEO: Two homes in Utah slide off a cliff, leading to evacuations 

Two homes in Utah slid off a cliff over the weekend after officials had deemed them unsafe for habitation. 

A video captured by a witness shows the exact moment when one of the homes starts falling apart and sliding down the canyon before it completely drifts backward. 

Another clip shows a similar image, of a home in the middle of a row starting to lean backward before disappearing from the site. 

In October 2022, officials notified the residents of both homes that they were not livable due to the shifting conditions of the ground below them. Since the assessment, both homes were fenced off. 

"Two residences -- the homes on each side of the properties that slid, were evacuated and have been condemned. Signage and fencing have been placed around those residences," the city of Draper said Sunday in a Facebook post. "The affected area is being monitored by Draper City Police. Bystanders should not visit the vicinity of the slide." 

Due to the debris of the collapsed houses, city officials are asking residents to stay out of the hiking trails "while the stability of the newly condemned homes continues to be monitored and evaluated."

"We ask everyone to respect the trail closures for their own protection," it added. "When deemed feasible to do so, a cleanup effort will be coordinated for the trails." 

The family that owned one of the houses said they were devastated by the collapse. Although they were not living in the home, it was full of their belongings, many of which might not have survived the slide. 

The couple that owned the other house, Eric Kamradt and his wife, said they had paid $900,000 for the home less than a year ago. Soon after, however, they were forced to vacate it after the corner of the home sank up to 10 inches and they found cracks in the foundation and patio concrete. 

"Everyone has problems. Here is ours, as this was supposed to be our forever home," Kamradt posted on his LinkedIn.
