Footage shows scenes from the devastated neighborhood as rescue crews work to remove fallen branches and debris.

At least 200 people were evacuated while rescue helicopters assisted those living in damaged houses. No fatalities have been reported.

The village has been hit with several landslides since wildfires spread across the region last year. This one, however, was the most severe.
