Buena Vista was closed to traffic, as was a trail that sits below the residences.
Footage posted on Twitter by the OCFA showed extensive damage to the rear of the residences, with patio furniture strewn on the hillside. Orange County sheriff’s officials said the buildings had been yellow-tagged, according to OnScene.TV.
No injuries were reported.
Clayton Robinson told KABC-TV, however, that 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.”
