Kaoiki, Hawaii, Earthquake November 16, 1983. Rain-induced slope failure in Laupahoehoe Gulch a few months after the earthquake. Heavy rains caused earthquake-loosened material to slide. Material below the road was pushed over by a bulldozer. The light-colored grassy area above the road to the right of the new slide lacks vegetation and indicates that the area has been the site of landslides in the past. At the time of the earthquake, a smaller rock slide occurred from the nearly vertical cliff just below the power poles (left) and blocked the highway for a few hours. Photo by N.G. Banks, 1983.
