A dozen homes have been evacuated in Rolling Hills Estates, California, after the ground shifted, causing extensive damage, city and Los Angeles County officials said
Twelve homes were red-tagged as of Monday night, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said on Twitter, noting 10 were “actively moving.” Sixteen residents had been displaced, and the fire department is monitoring another 16. The incident has been unfolding since Saturday, with footage from CNN affiliate KCAL showing homes crumbling on the hillside, the structures buckling as the earth gives way. And there’s no clear indication when the ground movement might end.
Rolling Hills Estates is a largely residential city on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, just west of Long Beach and about 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Fire department units have been on the scene since 1:30 p.m. that day, when they identified cracks or the beginning of cracks in the foundations of 12 homes, Chief Anthony Marone of L.A. County Fire said at a news conference Monday. Since then, Marone said, 10 homes “have been lost.
