Landslides are accelerating in Rancho Palos Verdes , a coastal community in the Los Angeles area.

The city sits atop steep cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean that, for hundreds of years , have been slowly shifting and giving way.

The ground slid downward 8 inches annually in years past, it has lurched 13 inches per week in some places.

The resulting landslides have ripped apart seaside mansions, buckled roads and forced utility provider Southern California Edison to cut electricity to nearly 250 homes.

Tim Kelly , a mechanical engineer who moved to the Portuguese Bend neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes 30 years ago , said he’s relying on his solar panels for power now, and remaining in his home.

Kelly said that other homes in his area have shifted on their foundations, with some properties cracking and splitting in sections.
