Two families were forced to leave their homes after a giant piece of the hillside in Pacific Palisades broke off in a landslide, the result of an exceptionally rainy winter in a region prone to erosion.
LOS ANGELES —
The neighborhood, nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, is popular among celebrities and middle-class families alike. It is known for spectacular views — and for precarious construction.A 20,000-square-foot piece of hillside crashed into a Pacific Palisades home on Sunday night and displaced a family of eight and an elderly man, fire officials said.
Debris and dirt “sloughed off” the hillside of a home in the 900 block of North Las Lomas Avenue and struck the home below, Nicholas Prange, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. No injuries were reported. Breitbart News visited the area and witnessed construction crews providing assistance at the home at the top of the hill, where a significant portion of the back yard had slid away. Dirt piled up against the other home, below.
