  • Several apartment buildings in Pacifica, California, are in danger of falling into the ocean. The cliffs they sit on are being eaten away by waves sparked by El Niño, forcing homeowners to evacuate. John Blackstone reports.

      I've actually seen those buildings in person. When they were built, they were a lot further away from the ocean. You can see this sort of erosion up and down the coast. Some areas just get nailed so relentlessly by storm surges that the hard packed sandstone crumbles quickly.

    Over a period of twenty years I watched a home at the junction of Pacific Coast Highway and Chitaugua (sp) Blvd in Los Angeles. It was built on a bluff with a view of Santa Monica Bay. It was built in the late 40's or early 50's. I first saw it as a teenager in the late 50's and had a huge back yard. I began monthly trips to NAS Point Mugu in 1973 when I rejoined the Navy Reserve. I drove PCH every month for 22 years and watched the back yard palisade erode from the winter and spring rains year after year. The back yard started at over an acre. When I saw it last in 1994, the concrete patio was undermined and you could see the underside of the concrete slab. The entire house finally fell away about 1998. The man who built the house knew from the start that the land would one day erode away.

      Luis Silverado the tornado situation I have nothing to do with. But as for the eroding cliff situation I have to say that tornadoes are sorta random and can happen anywhere in a large area where tornadoes happen. But eroding cliffs... well if you look at a house on a cliff by the ocean, even if the edge is 50 feet away at the time, and think that the distance won’t close then it’s not your fault... it’s no ones fault they are stupid. Water erodes land. Big waves erode land faster. Common sense is don’t live in house on cliff with water crashing into cliff sometimes. But you can say that you didn’t care and you just wanted the view but that would make it clear that it is your fault

      The short answer is it looks like all houses were bulldozed and the lots are now filled with gravel and the whole thing is fenced off (Esplanade Ave, I'm assuming. If you look along the coast, you will see houses that may be lucky to have a decade left where they are... some less. There are at least two large parking lots and an RV park where 1/4 of it is fenced off due to danger of collapse. A church even lost like 90% of its parking lot.
