A Dunedin resident was in for a shock when he looked out the window to see a slip had opened up a ''canyon'' in his section, leaving his kitchen hanging in mid-air.

Honky and his dog Belle were evacuated by police about 4pm yesterday after there was a major slip in front of his house about an hour earlier.
He was in the house when the slip opened up a ''canyon'' in his section and left his kitchen hanging in mid-air.
''I just heard all this banging in the kitchen and went out there and opened the window to have a look outside and the window wouldn't open.
''So I looked out the other window and ... where there was a paddock there is now a bloody great canyon.''
