At least three coastline homes in southern Orange County, California, are at risk of falling into the ocean after the cliffside they are built on crumbled in a landslide over the weekend, according to reports.
Footage by ABC7 shared on social media shows one home in Dana Point hanging off the cliffside and partially suspended in the air, while two others appear dangerously close to the edge of the cliff. A few feet below the homes, the camera points to the land fallen when the cliff gave way.
The collapse of part of the Dana Point cliff followed heavy rains in southern California earlier this month, which caused landslides and flooding across the region.

According to the broadcaster, the three homes affected all sit on Scenic Drive in Dana Point, a spot with a view of the ocean. The Orange County Fire Authority told ABC7 that it had not received any calls about the landslide.
