Several residents in Newport Beach had to be evacuated from their homes after a large landslide took down an entire backyard, including a cement patio. abc7ashley has the details.
It happened at around 10:24 a.m. Friday in the 1900 block of Galaxy Drive.
"The slide did go right up to the edge of the foundation, so at this point, the home itself is intact, but it has lost a lot of land that is supporting it, so it's in a precarious situation," said Newport Beach Public Information Officer John Pope. "I'm glad I don't live in a house that's on a hill that could slide," said Maryann Welles. "Growing up, my parents did, and they had slides all the time and it really concerns me, and driving by here, seeing this tape ... I would be worried for these homeowners."
