‘We have dirt inside the kitchen, inside the bedroom,’ said Verbena ABC7. ‘The roof is about to collapse. I mean very, very significant damage.
Verbena is now seeking government help to ease the financial burden of the natural disaster, which he says could cost more than $500,000 to fix.
“We won’t be able to move,” Verbena said. “We have to keep staying somewhere else, and then rebuilding that hill will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that we don’t have.” So I really don’t know at this point what’s going to happen. “We are in a bad situation.”
He said the landslide was totally unexpected and there have been landslides in the past but nothing of this intensity.
“We had some landslides, but nothing like this,” he said. ‘Nothing like this. “This is huge.”

No evacuations were ordered and teams of engineers were assessing the structural integrity of the houses, the only three located on the cliff.
Residents of affected properties were advised to remain vigilant and prepare for the imminent possibility of relocation.
The three affected homes are now largely at the mercy of Mother Nature, although the rains that recently flooded the region appear to have passed. They are priced at around $12.8 million, $13 million and $15.9 million and are at risk of falling into the Pacific.
