A landslide beneath part of the Casa Romantica Cultural Center in San Clemente continues to threaten the 100-year-old structure, leaving nearby residents displaced and shutting down coastal train services.
On Thursday, the landslide sent dirt and debris cascading down a hillside, heavily damaging the center's concrete terrace and shutting down all rail service in the area.
"We've had so much rain. Unprecedented amounts of rain in the last several months that these hillsides are very unstable," said Katrina Foley, an Orange County Supervisor. "This area here was being monitored for 10 days and every day, a little bit of landslide slippage, and so we really are hoping that it doesn't drop any further."
"It's really sad to see and it's a changing situation so we don't know if the movement is completed because of the last few days, there's been more movement, overnight there's been more movement," he said. Next to the home, a total of 24 condos have been red-tagged, which means they've been deemed unsafe to occupy. That impacted six units where residents lived full time. The rest of them are vacation rentals."Working around town, too, you hear a lot of concern about it if people aren't already living in that area, I'm just worried about if it's going to get further down south. It seems to be a good cause for concern," said resident Lucy Brittner.
