A $700,000 house in Texas is being set on fire by officials after a cliff near the house started to crumble into the lake below, leaving the house hanging over the edge.

The family moved out of the house two weeks ago and have decided to burn the house, remove the leftover debris plus the slab and move.

Officials soaked some hay bales in diesel fuel, placed them in the attic and started them a blaze.
