  1. (Palos Verdes; electric utilities refuse to keep on reconnecting homes built on a moving prehistoric landslide that is moving inexorably into the Pacific).

    LA Times: A scenic L.A. suburb with ocean views went off grid. How are residents surviving?

  2. ICYMI: Catalina in the Clouds: Looking south towards Catalina Island at sunset from the Palos Verdes Peninsula, while the ocean is covered in low lying clouds.

  3. I love LA, so spare the bullshit celebrations of its demise.

  4. started a #wikipedia article on US violinist, conductor, Elyse Aehle (1894-1981), began conducting orchestras in the Illinois in the 1930s, continued in Los Angeles from the 1940s to the early 1970s, as conductor of the South Bay Symphony (and her grave is in my zipcode): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elyse_Ae @wikiwomeninred #WomeninMusic @wikipedia_la #PalosVerdes #Torrance #SanPedro #Violin #TennesseeWilliams

  5. This would make a wicked time lapse photo location, though you'd probably have to use a high precision GPS to align where you put the camera every day. 4 inches per day I think the lady said in the video... Amazed it all doesn't run straight to the sea in one fell swoop. #disasters #landslide #PalosVerdes

    Today, tomorrow
    A Saturday in May?
    Ten years from now,
    Perhaps a hundred, they say
    Aunt Margaret walks out
    And the ground rumbles and rolls
    The fence falls down
    Startles all the moles
    The whole neighborhood goes sliding
    Out to the sea
    Could be the rain, an earthquake
    Most important--just flee!

    (A poem I have composed for the occasion, LOL)

  8. "The Palos Verdes debris avalanche is the largest, by volume, late Quaternary mass-wasted deposit recognized from the inner California Borderland basins. Early workers speculated that the sediment failure giving rise to the deposit is young, taking place well after sea level reached its present position."

  9. Oh hey, look, there's a prehistoric landslide in the Pacific right there. #PalosVerdes

  10. @ai6yr The GIS server for the city of Rancho Palos Verdes has data showing the area that is within the Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex. See the red outline on this map.

  11. "The Portuguese Bend landslide, in coastal southern California, is an active, slow-moving mass of blocks and debris that extends from the shoreline to moderate altitudes along part of the southerly margin of the Palos Verdes Hills... Ground failure has been widespread in this area. It evidently began in mid- to late-Pleistocene time, and it has continued intermittently to the present." #pleistocene #landslide #PortugueseBend #PalosVerdes sciencedirect.com/science/arti

  12. Curious when you just declare a neighborhood a "BAD IDEA" and buy out everyone and make it into a park. This has been a landslide area for A VERY LONG TIME, and homes should never have been built there (IMHO). #PalosVerdes #PortugueseBend #Landslide #disaster laist.com/news/rainfall-accele
