#1 Did they move the gravestones, but not the graves? Or perhaps the next Hellmouth just popped up.

#2 More from SF Gate on the man killed:

He was a substitute teacher at the community's only elementary school. His wife, whom he had met while teaching overseas, is five months' pregnant with the couple's first child.

Chellew's parents, who lived above the garage occupied by their only child, weren't home when he was killed, Erwin said.

"He was a wonderful, standup guy," said a neighbor, who asked that his name not be used. "He'd give the shirt off his back to anyone."

#4 What a shame he got caught by geological inevitability, but a blessing the rest of the family was spared. My condolences to his family.

#5 I'm betting that homeowner's insurance has some kind of exclusion for this.

#7 do you have to disclose this when you sell? seems like it'll knock $5K-10K off the asking price

#8 In California you have to disclose everything. The closing binder from the sale of my 3,000 sq ft house is 2 inches thick. The lawyers will get rich on this one. They'll end up blaming it on claim jumpers.

#11 I just got an email from a boyhood friend, now a retired locomotive engineer out of Roseville, California. The 32-year-old victim was the only son of a California Highway Patrol officer. My friend was friends with them.

There are only two things that I can think of for the cause, and that is a collapse of an abandoned underground mine, or a sinkhole due to limestone. I used to go into caves in the area when I was a kid, around Clipper Gap.
