On Monday, 6th February, 2017, another storm made its way across the Southland, the homeowners in Hollywood Hills remained concerned in the aftermath of the two landslides that have occurred in the area during the past month.

On the Laurel View Drive, a winding roadway just north of the Hollywood Boulevard, work crews had heavy equipment standing by in the case of another slide. One such incident took place on Jan. 30, when a hillside came crashing down onto the street.

The Laurel View remained closed on Monday, while the two nearby properties remained red-tagged and others had been evacuated, including the $8 million home owned by pop singer Demi Lovato.

A woman who lives close to the scene said that she had been in contact with her neighbors who were forced to leave.

She said that, they are dealing with it fine. But obviously it is not pleasant,  they had to go stay to a friend's house and hotels, but the are OK.

Nearby the Laurel Canyon Boulevard, K-rails have been in place between the Hollywood Boulevard and Kirkwood Drive since the ground gave way underneath a hilltop home on Jan. 11. The black tarpaulins remained in place on the unstable hillside to prevent the slide from worsening.

The traffic on Laurel Canyon has been slowed since that incident. Although the southbound lanes have been reopened, northbound traffic continues to be diverted onto the side street.
