Una casa en la ladera que sobrevivió al incendio de Palisades y que posteriormente se agrietó debido al movimiento de tierras, quedó aplastada recientemente, probablemente debido a la lluvia y a una rotura en la tubería principal de agua, posiblemente relacionada con el incendio. Durante los últimos meses, una casa en Castellammare Drive comenzó a deslizarse lentamente ladera abajo. Más adelante, se partió por la mitad y quedó destruida por su propio peso y el del terreno que la cubría.

A hillside home that survived the Palisades Fire then later cracked due to land movement from the blaze was crushed recently likely due to wet weather and a water main break that may have been linked to the firefight. Over the last several months, a home on Castellammare Drive was slowly moving down the hillside it rested on. After slowly sliding down the slope, the home cracked in half and was destroyed under its own weight and that of the land above.

A South Los Angeles-based school that serves unhoused students made its case Tuesday to the Los Angeles County Board of Education as to why it should keep its charter status. Crete Academy, which primarily serves underserved students who live at or below the poverty line, is appealing the Los Angeles Unified School District's decision to deny its charter renewal. The district said it opted not to renew the school's charter status due to its low academic performance.
