A hillside behind a San Clemente couple’s home has been sliding for years but with all the recent rain it’s getting too close for comfort.
“We’re concerned where that’s going because it just gets worse and worse and we really do feel that could impact our land,” Christina Lenz said.
The impact to their home has been minor so far but the wet weather has them worried.
“It keeps on going down the hill,” Robert Lenz said. “It keeps on falling.”
The cul-de-sac outside of their home is blocked off and covered in tarps and sandbags.
“You can see that at the end; asphalt has fallen off,” Christina said. “The concrete that was around the edge is gone and there’s like a big gap down there.”
The couple is nervous about what’s going to happen as the landslide inches closer to their property on Avenida Columbo.
“It’s amazing that you’re here because we wanted to check with the city to see what their long-term plan is because it needs to be fixed. Not just a Band-Aid on it. It needs to be fixed.”
