Summary

A sinkhole opened near Nicolas Cage's beachfront home in Malibu, California, in September, damaging his driveway and part of the neighboring road. Reports say the house was rendered uninhabitable and Cage has been staying in hotels. The City of Malibu declared a local emergency and ordered evacuations of 31 properties, with some homes marked unsafe. Accounts differ on the cause: some cite heavy rain and coastal erosion, others severe coastal flooding linked to Hurricane Marie, and one mentions concerns about a gas pipeline. Cage has filed permits for repairs and is coordinating with the Sea Level Drive Homeowners Association. Reports say it is uncertain when residents can return.
