Homes evacuate and collapse after landslide in Southern California neighborhood

A dozen homes in Rolling Hills Estates were evacuated and collapsed due to a major land shift.
Heavy rainfall this winter is speculated to have caused destabilization in the soil, leading to the landslide.
Multiple homes slid down the hillside, with walls and roofs caving in from the earth movement.
Residents were urgently evacuated as the homes were deemed uninhabitable and at risk of falling into a canyon.
The city council plans to declare a state of emergency to receive funds for responding to the incident.
