#Landslide #California #Viral
The neighborhood is named “Rolling Hills”. 😐
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hill, ‘til the landslide brought me down.
nature..
Saddest part: no earthquake insurance, no help. Most policies do not cover “moving earth”, no matter what caused it
and turning to look over his shoulder upon the ruinous world he’d once so adored, God spoke lastly… “Nothing lasts…😌”
Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona bay.
Good thing they saw it and nobody was in there.
Zoning caused this.
Was the area an ancient burial site?😳🤔
All of the houses in California and especially Hollywood have tunnels from house to house all of the elites in Hollywood could walk through each other’s houses and traffic children through all the mazes of tunnels😢
🤪👈
Only 2 months in house…
It could have been worse tho like in Seattle area when entire side of mountain mud killed people…
Maybe Gavin nuisance can relocate that homeless money to helping these families that worked hard for there homes that had it just taken away from
Sell the house to who Ben???
Well it is called ‘rolling hills’.
affected owners are being offered prop tax assistance. hoa is responsible for hiring geologist for analysis of problem. one tenant on month to month lease moved out thinking now was a good time to do so.
Janice Hahn is a fool. She’s lived in Southern California her entire life, and she “never” seen or heard of this happening in this area before…..?
How long has she been in politics? Her dad, Kenneth Hahn was a politician his entire life, her brother and so on.
I’m not saying she could have done anything about it, but she’s trying to hide from any disasters that is in her district. What if anything does she know about Portuguese Bend?
That area moves “literally” everyday, that’s why the waterline is above ground.
More to say later.
Lord Bless that man. Life takes some bad turns. We have all be there in one way or another. Sorry he is going through this.
It takes a special kind of stupid to build or buy a home on a clifftop. How do they think it got to be a cliff??
My concern is given how passionately California cares about the environment, how are they building new homes such that if they get destroyed like this it won’t cause all any toxic chemicals and pollutants to get into the environment? People have made homes out of natural materials for thousands of years.
San Andreas falt line
All your possessions…gone. But they’re alive.
It never ceases to amaze me how people like living in danger zones.
Sad to see them fail like that, home destroyed in hours. The place is called “Rolling Hills” maybe that is why? Buyers need to do diligence in deciding risks of where they build or buy, do not trust builders because they try using every lot they can. Avoid cliffs and and edges of canyons and deep valleys that can flood or get hit by slides. If this happens on a calm day, when it is saturated and also gets even a tiny quake, even the safer lots may start moving. Banks need to do more diligence when giving loans in risky areas, that can avoid grief later for owners and losses for banks and insurers.
Devastating, but, Praise God, every person is safe, although probably very scared right now. 🫂🫂🫂
Ok
But they still have the view. Buy a house on a cliff what do you expect. They got what they deserved…….
Multi million $ houses built on cliff.
There is a reason they call that place “ROLLING HILLS”
Congratulations becoming homeless 🍻💨
California better repent!
this is rolling hills estates, filthy rich people, they probably have 2nd or 3rd homes somewhere else that they can move into. That whole area is a landslide risk so their own fault for building there.
California repeat to God he will help you Jesus Christ
I feel for these people. They lost everything. Bet the insurance company doesn’t pay up.
awwwww. buy another one rich mfs.
How about to much weight on this ridge top…not the rain ..look at the dry ground openings …
Earthquakes have been noted …its a thing in california.I was a earth quake secialist on uyube
The earth asorbs the solar flare up right into the core vibrations had been noted …but u always think nature or earthquskes wont affect you.im.sp sorry they are losing both valuable lady and forecer home.prayers
As someone who’s patiently waiting for California to just break away from the U.S.A…I get great joy from videos like this!!! 😂 Thank you! Thank you very much ✌
Really look up . If u don’t believe in the man who has destroyed the waether whom u see . How u believe in your Creator whom u don’t see. Wen u gonna wake up.. wen it’s too late. 🤑🏦💨🤺🤡💀👹👁️🎲
Federal, State, County and City ****GOVERNMENT**** Inspectors and EXPERTS approved building on that land/site and all PAID a huge amount of money for those Inspection’s and Approvals ‘BUT’ where are they now ???? Where’s your Controlling , Leftist Lunatic DemoCrat Government, NOW???? OH,” IT’S YOUR FAULT”,………. that’s right !
🙄
How I sleep at night watching California slide off the map. 😴💤💤💤
Insurance companies are quick to sleaze their way out of paying. Especially in California, where ‘land is unstable’…
It’s ok that’s what insurance is for. Stop building in flood zones and hazard zones. Duh 🙄
Insurance agency is cruel
Who done geography in school will know about Earth movement
Did they know the hills might roll and move in a place that was named “Rolling Hills”?
That’s heartbreaking 💔
E.T. phone home😢
These fools in California have been building on sides of hills for decades!!! What did they think would happen???? They get what they deserve!!!! Fools
Where I live collapsing mine shafts are more of a concern. Old mines that no one knows about. Long forgotten. You have to have extra insurance for that.
My heart❤ goes out to these former residents.
Truly feel sorry for those people… Hope their Insurance companies step up and do right by them 😇
Not likely! Color me pessimistic !!
“Insurance” and “step up” – is oxymoron!
@Dan Kelly Makes you wonder what these insurance agents are
taught in college. Just looking for any loophole to avoid paying for
damages incurred by weather, or environmental failures. Look at how
State Farm avoids insuring homes due to the brush fires in California.
How in the heck can kids drive a car in the state paying double the
premium that other kids pay in cheaper states, and I really can’t say
cheaper, because they would still be paying an arm and a leg then most
adults over fifty. Honestly, who would the insurance companies rather
insure today? The all responsible adult who pays less, or the more care-
free teenager who would pay a much more higher premium, but risking
rolling the dice and coming up snake eyes with an accident that the
insurance company has to pay out?
@Tom O’Donovan You don’t have to go to college to sell insurance. There are insurance courses and state testing. No college required. Same as real estate. Same as construction license, plumbing license.
Yay. Go to the ocean where u belong
finally some bad news from the USA that isn’t related to crime/stupidity.
but I wish the best for all the families.
California, you had fires, you had snow , you had rain, you had earthquakes… no wonder home insurance prices are skyrocketing over there.
Imagine that… an estate built on “Rolling Hills Estate” started rolling…
Ground squirrels?
Here in Colorado we had a whole community built on an active.underground Coal fire seam. High winds and fire took it out. PEOPLE were under insured due to our double digits of inflation of Bidenonomics, They can nolonger replace their homes. Now the insurance company’s are suing the utility company with the hopes of avoiding payouts.
…Janice is hot…
Sending prayers to all. They always said that CALIFORNIA would go into the OCEAN.
It will that’s not too far from it
Two questions:
(1) Was the water-leak a result or the cause?
(2) If the insurance won’t cover the event, should approval to build there have ever been given?
Shocking pictures. My sympathy to the home-owners.
That was what I was thinking too. If that water main was left broken for too long it seems like it could have been a major factor.
@TGJ There was an earthquake a week prior and the water leak was a result of that. The water leak was discovered after 2 days and the water was shut off to that pipe immediately, which would have been days before the homes started falling. Initially the neighbors wondered if it was the pipe that caused this, until they realized that a crater a mile long opened up due to seismic activity and many neighboring neighborhoods were also destroyed, not just the homes on this block that were in close proximity to the water leak. The block that first reported houses falling were single family homes, but you can see in the updated videos now that a lot of the homes that started falling later are multi-family apartments from nearby neighborhoods, much farther than a water leak would have affected.
@I am the First of Me Thanks for that comprehensive answer.
There had to be warning signs that were ignored. If you look on google earth you can see driveway cracks patched up
I wonder if this will help with the property value.
Oh, he’s going to go through this alone
It’s prolly trumps fault.
California has a very special curse, that it cannot lift. Enjoy the Karma from that. You can all thank Gabriel Miranda for all the evil that is happening to you.
😳😢🙏🏾
Hope the entire state cracks and falls into the sea
😂 we got you yeacgiod luck with communist politicians
This is what you have insurance for.
ByeBye California
Dear landslide,
can you please take the rest of California with you?
Love,
Everyone
Maybe you shouldn’t build your houses on a place called ROLLING Hills, eh?
Homeless encampments are safer than these homes.
We are witnessing JUDGMENT with mercy!
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23!
It’s called “rolling hills” guys…
WHOA! 😱
Dang that’s crazy…what can you say?
Those peeps across the street should leave too.
No ther e will not be covered.
I guess there’s three people you shouldn’t trust, A developer, A realtor
And insurance Company.
“Rolling Hills Estate” predictive programming.
Collapsing condos, new house builds on sinkholes, it’s almost like there are no more building or safety standards in this country. I don’t trust our infrastructure anymore and when that attitude spreads, good luck keeping a good economy.
Wow…my eyes got teary. GOD bless that man and his family.
Hakuna.Mitada ?..No Worries Brother Newsome ( Nuisance) has Your 6 !!!.🤔🤣
Nobody gots you.
You just have to move on as quickly as possible
I know it happened to our family in Los Angeles County
That’s why we moved to Vegas your house can’t burn up in a wildfire or slide down a hill
Easy to say that you should not build on a hill etc…rich people just wanting to live there, somehow got this permitted etc….yet, nothing lasts forever, and there are, literally, millions of homes in the same situation. I hope insurance can help these good folks.
😮
Insurance isn’t covering it either.
Nice hard hat,Chud…think the sky is falling?
Building on a hill and I should know, you have the forces of nature and gravity working against you! The earth is fluid and constantly changing no matter where!
Rich people problems
The Area around Rolling Hills Estates has a really long history of landslides and sink holes.
Damage that everyone will have in this region
EF those people! If this were the hood you can bet no city officials would be there!
Developers knew this would happen and so did regulators. But no one cares its all greed and the homeowners got swindled.
Judgment of Yah repent because Jesus is not pleased.
You made no account for His peoples labors and stole wages. You slaughtered them in their captivity and found yourselves not guilty. Zechariah 11:5 ; James 5:4
we are living in end times
