An update: You know you're going to miss me when I'm gone,

Well, to begin with that house finally slid into the river, but judging by this picture that's not going to be the end of the story.  The river has now eroded enough of the bank to threaten the main house on the property and another small building.  That house has been abandoned.  The river also is now threatening several other houses downstream.  Meanwhile the first building is lodged tightly against a gravel bar downstream with just the roof showing,  All told, the river took more than 100 yards of ground on this particular property and given the amount of rain we've had in the past couple of weeks it isn't going to let up any time soon.  The water isn't that far from the highway (that's the bike path right next to the highway in the foreground), though the highway is raised and perhaps better protected.

Here's the story in the local paper with some additional photographs.

Here is a Facebook page of a neighbor downstream whose property also is threatened.
