permits: Where did I park my house?

With all the recent rain here in Oregon, I believe we are at 56 out of the last 65 days, land slides are becoming a huge problem. Especially for those who build upon rivers and mountain sides. Though they have a great view, the place where they built is slowly being washed away. Now, my parents have been lucky, they have the view, but no signs of errosion yet.
