The slide occurred just before 3 a.m. in Sherman Oaks, a neighborhood of expensive homes about 12 miles northwest of downtown LA.
In this aerial image from KABC video shows the scene of a landslide in the Sherman Oaks area of Los Angeles, Wednesday, March 13, 2024. The landslide has destroyed a hillside home and is imperiling at least two others. The Los Angeles Fire Department says an initial search found no victims but several people were evacuated from one house.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the landslide, but numerous slides have happened in Southern California due to drenching winter storms that saturated the ground. Up the hill, the slide left a tennis court and pool on the edge of a huge fissure. A table and chairs that used to be poolside stood on a patch of deck on the other side of the gaping fissure. Firefighters drained the pool to reduce weight on the hill.
