A landslide in the Santa Cruz Mountains left some residents struggling to get to and from their homes.

A portion of Mountain Charles Road in Los Gatos dropped off and can no longer be used by vehicles. County officials estimate it's impacting at least 80 homes. 'It adds about another hour to my commute,' Eric Hansen said. 'If I park my car on the other side and ride my bike then I can manage.'Hansen lives near the slipped road. He must cross it every day to go to work or go to the store. He's worried, if it continues to sink, it may no longer be an option.

With more rain in the forecast, it could take some time. 'We just need the county to step up and get the financing that they need and mobilize the equipment and get this thing going,' Hansen said about the community's current struggles. 'Right now, there are several hundred residents that it's impacted.''The people that I feel the most sorry for are the people up here. There are five houses that do not have a road,' Ali Hyde said. Hyde also lives in the community.
