SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some evacuated San Antonio residents say more cracks have shown up in retaining walls meant to halt sliding soil and protect their homes.
Residents of The Hills of Rivermist said they started noticing the cracks after heavy rains several weeks ago.
Some residents stopped by the site Wednesday, in the neighborhood where slipping soil on Jan. 24 forced the evacuation of about 90 houses.
Sherwin Tolentino, who's still living in a hotel, showed reporters apparent unstability in a fence and foundation problems. Tolentino says cracks have opened in a large retaining wall behind his house.
City spokeswoman Di Galvan says a building inspector Wednesday could find no new damage.
Centex Homes has hired an engineering firm for evaluation and recommendations on fixing the soil problem.
