Living on the Edge in California The picturesque headlands in Dana Point, California, offer stunning views but also pose risks for residents. Severe winter storms have led to erosion and mudslides, causing damage to homes and forcing evacuations. The recent storms have raised concerns about the stability of houses perched on the edge of cliffs. Residents in affected areas have been taking measures to protect their homes from further damage. Experts attribute the ground instability to various factors, including tectonic forces, weak rocks, poor urban drainage, and heavy rainfall. The situation serves as a reminder of the challenges posed by living in such a dynamic landscape.
