A California mansion on the edge of a cliff after the Dana Point landslide: photos.
A large home in southern California is now on the edge of a cliff after a landslide and heavy rains hit the region, but officials say the home is not in immediate danger.
Cliff edge homes in Dana Point, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, have been hit by landslides caused by the atmospheric river, also known as the "Pineapple Express," which brought heavy rain, wind, rock falls, flooding and more damage to various areas of the state.
Dana Point is located on the Pacific coast in Orange County, California, about 60 miles south of Los Angeles.
In a statement Wednesday, the city said Dana Point building inspectors evaluated the residential structures and a geotechnical engineer inspected the landslide site. The home was built on pilings anchored to the rocks, City Manager Mike Killbru said. Killbru recommended the homeowner have his own professional engineering survey done "as a precaution." "The house is fine, it's not threatened and it will not be deemed uninhabitable," homeowner Dr. Lewis Bruggeman told KCAL-TV.
Homes in California can be declared uninhabitable if they are deemed unsafe to live in by the city or other government agencies.
The landslide did not affect Dana Point Headlands open space or trail access, KCAL-TV reported.
Another storm is expected to bring more heavy rain, flooding and snow to the region Sunday through Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles. The Associated Press reports. Facebook Twitter Email.
