"Massive Rolling Hills Estates landslide triggers widespread evacuations as homes crumble into canyon"

A major landslide in Rolling Hills Estates, California, has destroyed 12 homes and continues to threaten more as the hillside slides into the canyon below. Residents reported hearing cracks under their homes days before the incident. Sixteen people have been evacuated, and utilities have been shut off as officials investigate the cause, speculating that water evaporating in the ground or an ongoing water leak may be to blame. The neighborhood, built in 1978, had been solid until this weekend.
