一句话看懂
A sinkhole opened under the driveway of Nicolas Cage's Malibu home on Tuesday, prompting evacuations.
More than 30 properties were ordered evacuated as coastal erosion threatens beachfront homes.
背景
The sinkhole formed after days of rough surf and high tides linked to the remnants of Hurricane Marie, which affected Southern California over the weekend. The expanding hole, caused by coastal erosion, broke a water line and a gas line, leading to a gas leak and a local emergency declaration. Many beachfront homes in the area are supported by pilings, but their driveways and front portions sit on soil that can be washed away, leaving them vulnerable.
