Landslides caused by heavy rains destroy oceanfront homes in California

Around 24 individuals in southern California had to evacuate their seaside apartment buildings as the hill beneath them began to crumble due to heavy rains. San Clemente authorities stated on Thursday that there was no specific time frame for the residents to return to their homes with more rainstorms expected. San Clemente’s mayor, Chris Duncan, stated during a news conference that “The ground is continuing to move. So these structures are still in peril.” California has been hit with 11 atmospheric rivers, causing floods, landslides, and power outages, with a significant portion of the state now under a presidential emergency declaration.
