California Landslide

Matthew 24:7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

Important Takeaways:

  • Destructive Southern California landslide slows but more homes ordered evacuated as sewer breaks
  • A landslide that has destroyed homes in a Southern California community appeared to have slowed but more residences were evacuated.
  • Five additional homes were ordered evacuated Tuesday because earth movement broke a sewer line, although those homes had not moved, the city of Rolling Hills Estates said in a statement.
  • The landslide began Saturday atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula on the south Los Angeles County coast. Firefighters discovered cracks in structures and the ground, and hastily evacuated residents from 12 homes that were red-tagged as unsafe.
  • Ten of those homes were then dramatically torn apart over several days as they slid down a slope into an adjacent canyon.
  • The cause of the slide has yet to be determined but authorities have noted the massive rainfall that hit California during winter as the state was battered by repeated atmospheric rivers.
  • Officials have said the homeowner’s association was in the process of hiring a geologist.
