Local So. Calif. Property Damage from the Rain

These pictures were taken just a few minutes from our house.
We have had so much rain the last couple of weeks, many of the hillsides are damaged and this put
the houses in danger of sliding down the hills. Plastic sheeting is tied down on the hills to help protect the hillsides. Many of the hillsides are so damaged, the homeowners may not be able to save their homes and property if we continue to have heavy rain. The minimum value of these houses would be around $650,000.00
