135 homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, Southern California, lose natural gas service due to worsening landslide conditions.

135 homes in Rancho Palos Verdes, Southern California, have had their natural gas service cut off due to worsening landslide conditions that have damaged houses, roads, and utilities. The land movement has increased since spring 2023, following heavy winter rains, with experts believing water percolating into the ground is lubricating the earth, causing the land to move up to 9 inches per week. The Southern California Gas Company will provide $2,500 to each account holder for immediate needs and has not yet estimated a restoration date.
