Buena Vista was closed to traffic, as was a trail that runs under residences.
Images posted to Twitter by the OCFA showed extensive damage to the backs of residences, with patio furniture strewn across the hillside. Orange County Sheriff’s officials said the buildings were tagged yellow, according to OnScene.TV.
No injuries were reported.
However, Clayton Robinson told KABC-TV he may have lost everything in the slide.
“We called our insurance and they said, well, they don’t cover hills going down,” Robinson told the station. “So all we have left is our faith in God.”
