California Homes Face Double Disaster: Wildfires Followed by Landslides

In a series of devastating events, several homes in the Pacific Palisades area of California have narrowly escaped destruction from wildfires, only to be severely damaged or completely destroyed by subsequent landslides. Reports detail the horror of a $2 million home that survived the intense flames of the Palisades Fire, only to split in half days later due to mudslides triggered by the rain-soaked ground. This alarming trend has raised concerns among officials, highlighting the fragile state of hillsides in Los Angeles County that have been weakened by the recent wildfires, increasing the risk of further landslides. Residents are left grappling with the aftermath, as properties that once stood resilient against the flames are now facing new threats from nature, leading to fears about the stability of the area.
