look at other traffic incidents back to you. All right. Thank you. Samara. So cracks, slides instability this morning the Rancho Palos Verdes area is facing new obstacles. Yet another neighborhood on the peninsula has lost power after Edison shut off electricity as as a precaution. Gigi Garcia is live for us with the very latest. Good morning, Mel and Jen. We're in Portuguese Bend this morning and take a look. We're on Narcisa Drive here in Rancho Palos Verdes, right in front of the driveway leading to the home at 20. And you can tell you can see all those cracks. And basically the whole road is like this. And at this point in the road, there's been a mud and debris flow, some downed trees as the Earth keeps moving and the electricity keeps being turned off. Take a look at the video. More than 100 additional residents in Rancho Palos Verdes are without power today. Southern California Edison says they're implementing safeguards amid worsening landslides that are threatening areas. Here in Rancho Palos Verdes. The latest shutoff was scheduled for last night in the Sea View community, and that comes one day after residents here in Portuguese Bend, 140 homes lost their electricity and they remain under an evacuation order. Now, both L.A. County officials and city officials are calling on the state of California, the governor, to step in and help this community. And they really need help. Now, there is a misperception out there. Residents tell me that they are all extremely wealthy. They tell me that is not the case. For example, we spoke to one man whose mother lives alone. She's 88 years old. Of course, her children are with her now. His dad bought that house after saving a during a lifetime of work as a school teacher at Torrance High School, and now they're in danger of losing their home. And there is no insurance claim to be made. I don't know that there's an insurance claim to be had there. So, I mean, for the structure of the house, there might be a claim, as far as you know, helping her find a place to stay temporarily. But you know, you my dad worked his whole life to buy here and now I don't know, this is really rough. Yeah. Sorry It's emotional. It's your mom. It's your family home. It is enough to make a grown man cry again. Mike's dad was a school teacher at Torrance High School. He saved his entire life to buy a little piece of Paradise here in Portuguese Bend. He says the house is slowly slipping. There are cracks everywhere. And again, there is no solution in sight. Now L.A. County has put in millions of dollars. But truth be told, the estimate, we're told, exceeds $1 billion. And that doesn't even guarantee that the homes that are cracking and slipping can be saved. Reporting live. I'm Gigi Gracia, back to you. You really feel for that, man? I mean, looking out for his father and just knowing that watching him work his entire life to be
