It has been a busy few days in the landslide world, with major events being reported in various locations.\u00a0 The most serious is likely to be the extreme rainfall event that has hit Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in northern India<\/a>, but the true picture there remains somewhat unclear.\u00a0 There has also been extreme rainfall, with resultant landslides, in China<\/a>, Japan<\/a>, the USA<\/a>, Turkey<\/a>, Pakistan<\/a> and elsewhere. The northern hemisphere summer rainy season is only just getting going, so there is likely to be a lot more to come.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, in California<\/a> a major landslide impacted (the ironically-named) Rolling Hills Estates, in Los Angeles County, located on the northern side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.\u00a0 The landslide started to move rapidly on 8 July 2023, and reports indicate that movement is continuing.\u00a0 Reports indicate that 12 houses have been damaged or destroyed on Peartree Lane<\/a>. The location of the landslide is approximately [33.7637, -118.3888].<\/p>\n John Kay has posted a drone video of the site to Youtube<\/a>, which is worth viewing:-<\/p>\n
