Without concrete data, Rolling Hills property owners whose utilities were recently cut off question whether the rate of land movement near their homes is of concern.

Standing on the far left corner of the three acres he owns in Rolling Hills, James Bellis, 40, points to a crack he's been monitoring in the yard since August. It started from Quail Ridge Road, right above his property, and was about 240 feet long and an inch wide when he first noticed it — but now it runs more than 450 feet through the back of his property, and in one section is almost 16 inches wide.

There, at least two homes have been deemed unsafe to reenter, dozens of others have seen significant damage, the Wayfarers Chapel has been disassembled for safekeeping and several roads have become irreparable. “Based on review of GPS monitoring data shared by Rolling Hills and recent field mapping, the upper limit of the new movement in Rolling Hills appears to cross upper Altamira Canyon,” the geologist wrote in his report.
