Devastating Landslide in Rolling Hills Estates: Homes Lost and Evacuations Forced

Twelve homes in Rolling Hills Estates, California, are expected to slide into a canyon after being red-tagged and eight homes already destroyed due to a landslide. The land has moved another 20 feet in just 24 hours, and officials attribute the movement to excessive rains or an underlying cause yet to be discovered. Residents reported hearing cracks beneath their homes, prompting evacuation. The homeowners association has not yet had a geologist or soil expert examine the site, and city officials are expected to declare a state of emergency.
