Rancho Palos Verdes, CA - October 30: Joe Badame and Martha de la Torre and her mom, Elvia de la Torre, not shown, who are still living without municipal electricity and natural gas service due to ongoing landslide movement in the area in Rancho Palos Verdes, pose with their propane generator. It's been more than a year, and Joe is worried about the winter and wants SCE to reenergize their neighborhood. His mother-in-law requires power during the night, which is hard on their solar panel. SCE says it's still too dangerous to reconnect power. Photo taken in Rancho Palos Verdes Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times)
