He still hears the occasional “Rice Krispie” popping from the homes as they shift.
Hahn first visited the street late Saturday and said she could hear the “snap, crackle, pop” of shifting homes, but the movement seemed minor.

Waiting for the homes to fall.
A member of the Rolling Hills Park Villas homeowners association’s board and its management company, Scott Management, declined to comment or take questions Tuesday. The HOA is responsible for hiring a geologist to assess the land, officials have said. It’s still unclear when that will happen or who that will be.
