Landslide devastates L.A. County neighborhood, prompts evacuations

A massive landslide in a Los Angeles County neighborhood has led to the evacuation of at least 12 homes and the destruction of several others. The damage was initially discovered in one home, but it quickly spread to neighboring residences. Utility companies have shut off power and are checking for gas line ruptures. The cause of the landslide is still unknown, but heavy rains during the past winter may have contributed. No injuries have been reported, and crews are monitoring the situation.
