Big chunks of a patio behind a Newport Beach home overlooking the Back Bay continue to fall down a steep hillside three days after a landslide displaced several families near Galaxy Drive.

"That means the soil isn't as stable as everyone would like to see," said Newport Beach spokesman John Pope. "With that movement that means that safety becomes a continued concern and that's why homes continue to be red-tagged."

Since Friday, the beige Newport home has remained off-limits as the land underneath a corner of the house continues to chip away. The homes on either side of the red-tagged home remain yellow-tagged as building inspectors say the structures aren't suitable to be lived in.
