(Astoria, OR) -- Some residents in Astoria are wondering when they'll be able to return home after being evacuated due to a landslide that has shut down part of the Uppertown neighborhood. City officials say eight properties are affected, with five homes evacuated near 27th Street and Grand Avenue. Streets have cracks in them and natural gas and water had been turned off. The slide, which is just under five acres in size, is in an area that has been prone to slides since the 1950's. The Red Cross is assisting evacuees with temporary housing.
