newscast. Reporting live from Culver City. I'm Chelsea Edwards. Susan, I'll send it back to you. Chelsea Thank you. Heartbreaking. First, the gas service was shut off. Well, today the power went off. Now, as the land movement crisis continues in Rancho Palos Verdes, residents are warned they may still have to evacuate their homes. The situation looking ever more grim. Fox Eleven's Eisner is live with the latest for us. How That's right. An evacuation warning is now in effect here in the Portuguese bend neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes. This, as dozens of homes have their electricity cut off for what's being called safety sake. Right Generators to fire up power and homes like Tom Keifer's. Because electricity at his house and 139 others went dark because officials say the fast moving landslide here has created unsafe conditions. We are now at 1210. I assume that the power has now been shut off. Yes, yes, yes. But that's not all. An evacuation warning has been issued for the Portuguese Bend neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes. That means get ready. Please be ready to evacuate. I hope it doesn't come down to that, but you've got to be ready at a minute's notice.

That and the electricity being shut off just several weeks after Southern California Gas Company shut off gas to the area has residents financially reeling and upset. Are you going to go find a place to stay like a motel? I have to figure out something. You have no idea right now. I have no idea. We're in for $22,000. We are replacing our electric our gas heater with electric heater. We've had to replace the gas stove with an electric stove, the gas dryer with an electric dryer. And now we're looking at a $47,000 bill to put in solar panels. And with the evacuation warning to boot, I'm not a geologist. I'm not an engineer. I don't know how you stop mother nature. And with regard to the evacuation warning. And remember, it's a warning, not an order. Yet the sheriff and the fire chief say it's important to start gathering your important papers, your medicines, things that you would need to take with you should this become an
