A mansion in Southern California, near the Pacific coast, has been left on the edge of a cliff caused by a huge landslide in the city of Dana Point.
The move occurred last week due to an atmospheric phenomenon known as Pineapple Express that brought heavy rain, winds, rockfalls, flooding and more damage to areas across the state, located about 60 miles south of Los Angeles. .
In a statement released Wednesday, the city said an inspection was done to evaluate residential structures in the area. Surprisingly, after analyzing the results, the authorities have determined that there is no immediate danger to the home or adjacent residences.
“At this point, the city believes that no additional action is necessary and, out of an abundance of caution, recommends that property owners retain a professional engineering evaluation of the property,” explained City Manager Mike Killebrew.
On the other hand, the owner of one of the properties, Lewis Bruggeman, told KCAL television that his house did not have any “major structural problems” and that, therefore, “it will not receive a red tag.” Cities or other government entities in California can use this type of protocol if they consider it unsafe to occupy them. Likewise, he assures that the city is not worried about any threat either.
Meanwhile, another storm is forecast to bring more heavy rain to Southern California, along with flooding and snow to the region. According to the National Weather Service in Los Angeles, it will arrive late Sunday night and possibly last into Wednesday.
