The Road That Broke the Peninsula
I stumbled on an old map to Marineland from 1962, which showed Crenshaw Blvd as a route to the coast...through the Palos Verdes landslide zone. *Did* Crenshaw ever connect? If so, *how*? Did the landslide take it out, and if so when? I went digging for answers. -
(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?

Interesting story on someone in Rolling Hills (farther away from the Portuguese Bend landslide) who has a giant crack in his property which is getting larger. I wonder really how much of that hills is hoofing it down to the Pacific Ocean.

Eleven million dollars
Slipping towards the sea
Quite a bit of mansion
It's really quite priceyToo bad mother nature
Wants everything to go south
Even fancy houses
Gobbled by her mouthThere's nothing humans are able
To do about this slide
But hang on to their fancy places
And take a real fast ride!#poem (human)

@VATVSLPR @fisherstudio @Viss Okay, this is ridiculous LOL
$4.7M house... originally sold for $780K in 1998. People still buying/selling the dang thing while it has been sliding.

"...Officials confirmed a very deep and active landslide plane — previously considered dormant — during exploratory drilling this summer, a discovery that has upended emergency efforts aimed at stabilizing the Portuguese Bend area.... Geologists believe the deeper activity is the ancient Altamira landslide complex, for which movement has never before been recorded, Awwad said. " #landslide #geology #portuguesebend

"The coastal community has been dealing with a slow-moving landslide for decades, but historic rainstorms in 2023-24 have accelerated its movement and created the current emergency. Up to a foot of land movement per week has been recorded in recent months, fracturing the walls of homes and blowing off roofs, shearing underground pipes and opening massive fissures in the earth... On July 29, Southern California Gas Co. abruptly cut off natural gas service to 135 homes in the coastal city, citing risks to public safety. The next day, Southern California Edison notified more than 500 homes that power may soon be cut off as well. ..." #landslide #portuguesebend #ranchopalosverdes

Landslide has been happening since 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago.
Humans: "HEY LET'S BUILD A SUBDIVISION HERE"
Also Humans: "OH NO! MY HOUSE IS COLLAPSING! IT'S AN EMERGENCY! SAVE ME! HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN?!!"

"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 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0013795289900379

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 https://laist.com/news/rainfall-accelerating-land-movement-in-rancho-palos-verdes

@headlines_bot (looks like a 1960's or 1970's report on this, LOL... wonder how many homes are left). #PortugueseBend #landslide
