Immediately, I was forced to remember the real mud/slide avalanche in/at Silver Lake in the late 1978, when the hillside and a parking lot above closed the 101 Freeway northbound with mud & debris covering all four lanes. Does anyone remember that? Not nearly as bad, but in 1999, park of the hillside slid to the freeway's edge. You can see the grading & supports/guardrails added and still present in this photo looking north just before the Silver Lake Dr. exit:
Plans were underway to construct a decorative retaining wall, similar to those in the Cahuenga Pass, though I've not heard the latest on that.
