Sinkhole details and evacuation orders

A crater measuring 25 feet deep and 30 by 60 feet opened near the driveway on September 8. The event forced officials to evacuate 31 nearby homes including the actor's mansion. Officials have not yet determined exactly how the sinkhole formed.

Hurricane Marie connection

Reports suggest the unusual storm likely caused the ground collapse through strong winds and heavy rain. Hurricane Marie battered California in early September before bringing large waves to oceanfront properties. The tropical storm brought significant flooding that affected some homes in Southern California.

Cage Halloween plans

The actor shared alternative plans for the holiday while staying away from his property. He intends to take his daughter trick-or-treating in Santa Monica before watching a specific film. Cage mentioned he will watch a movie directed by someone nominated for worst director at the Razzies.
