From Fox News: A California home worth around $2 million has been wrecked by a landslide, having been left fortuitously unscathed from the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
The one-story oceanfront property in Pacific Palisades was split in two by a landslide and crumbled, Fox 11 LA reports. It has been left surrounded by mud with running water also being observed nearby.
The one bedroom, one bathroom home, sold a few years ago for close to $2 million and rented for $14,000 a month, Fox 11 LA reported, citing online data. It’s located on Castellammare Drive.
Landslides have become the latest concern for homeowners and officials in Los Angeles as water being used to battle the blazes can make the ground weak, making foundations unstable. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has also warned of the danger of mudslides and landslides after wildfires because the fires destroy vegetation that would otherwise secure the soil.
FoxLA reporter Matthew Seedorff posted a video as he shows the destroyed home, complete split in half due to the mudslide.
