- Three multimillion-dollar mansions now sit on the edge of a cliff in California.
- Heavy rainstorms caused landslides that eroded the cliff along Scenic Drive in Dana Point.
Early February rainstorms across Southern California have left three Dana Point homes in precarious positions.
The multimillion-dollar mansions along Scenic Drive in Orange County now sit on the edge of an oceanside cliff after part of the bluff fell away in landslides caused by heavy rains.
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties on February 4.
In Dana Point, aerial photos show fallen debris from the cliffside with the decks of three homes beginning to jut out over the side.
The three mansions are worth an estimated $42.9 million combined, The New York Post reported, citing the real estate company Redfin.
City Manager Mike Killebrew told CBS News that a geotechnical engineer and building sector from the city inspected one of the three mansions — the A-frame home furthest out on the edge — and found that there is "no imminent threat to that home."
Others weren't as lucky. In Los Angeles, the storms caused 562 mudslides and resulted in 15 homes being red-tagged, meaning they were designated as unsafe to inhabit, the Los Angeles Times reported.
