A large landslide in Rolling Hills Estates this weekend forced the evacuation of 12 houses next to a canyon
The ordeal began when cracks were discovered in one of the homes, which then saw crews investigating other nearby structures.
Unfortunately, the damage appeared to spread from one home to the next leading all 12 to be evacuated.
'They discovered cracks along the structure of one building, and upon further investigation they realized that there were some cracks running through one home specifically, and it was progressing to the next home,' LA fire Captain Chiyoshi Hasegawa told KTLA.
'We got additional specialists to assess the situation, and after assessing the situation we realized there were 12 homes that had received damage either inside of their home or outside of the structure.'

'I was up actually, most of the night, worrying about what's going to happen,' said Mimi Borg to ABC 7. 'They told us that they would knock on our door if we had to be evacuated.'
One woman who lives on the street but whose home was not affected because it sits on the side opposite the canyon explained how she was woken up by the commotion.
'I was sleeping…[I woke up to] a lot of noises and fire trucks, I was very concerned,' she said. 'Then I was up most of the night worrying about what's going to happen.
'My home is fine; we are on the ocean side…it's the canyon side that's having the problems. They told us they were not going to [evacuate us] if they didn't need to,' she added.
