NEWS ANCHOR: The Hollywood

spilling thousands of gallons
of water

into the Hollywood Hills
neighborhood.

NEWS ANCHOR: Many homes,
businesses, and roads

have been destroyed
from the path of the water.

NEWS ANCHOR: It's unclear

NEWS ANCHOR: Emergency workers

not to enter

from the dam caused more damage

than just flooding
and mudslides.

It quickly eroded the bottom
of the hill, and then--

Brought the whole hill down.

Most of the damage is
concentrated east of the dam.

Exposed gas lines,
unstable structures, and mud.

-Lots of it.
-Any casualties?

Two tagged so far,

with Mobile Command?

Not that I've seen,
