A landslide that has destroyed homes in a Southern California community appears to have slowed but more homes have been evacuated.
ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, Calif. — A landslide that has destroyed homes in a Southern California community appeared to have slowed but more residences were evacuated.
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. Mayor Britt Huff said measurements late Tuesday afternoon marked the first time earth movement had slowed to a point where “it may be maxed out.”
