A recent heavy rainstorm has heightened concerns in the Ranchos Palos Verdes area as an imminent threat of landslides threatens the coastal city.

Last year, two homes were red-tagged during the spring and several dirt trails and roads have all but washed away, and city officials now consider seeking state relief, according to officials during a recent council meeting.
