"Mudslides Merge, Inflict 'Significant Damage' in Beverly Crest"

Two mudslides converged into one, causing significant damage to several homes in a Beverly Crest neighborhood, leading to the evacuation of more than a dozen residents. Six homes were damaged, and a mandatory evacuation order was issued. No injuries were reported, but 15 people, including six adults and nine children, were forced out of their homes. The LA Fire Department and Department of Building and Safety are assessing the situation, and a geologist will be dispatched to assess the stability of the ground due to persisting rain.
