The Oscar winners nephew Abe Streep revealed that the actress, 75, had to come up with a creative plan to get to safety.
Hollywood actress Meryl Streep had a tense escape from the Los Angeles wildfires, according to her nephew, Abe Streep. The 75-year-old actress was forced to cut a hole in her fence large enough to drive through while evacuating her home on January 8. The wildfires, which started a day earlier, spread rapidly across parts of the city, forcing many residents to flee.
Abe Streep shared details of the incident in a New York Magazine article, highlighting the destruction caused by the fires. Emergency services have been working to contain the blazes, with officials urging residents to stay alert.
"Evacuation mandates were sent across the city. My aunt Meryl Streep received an order to evacuate on January 8, but when she tried to leave, she discovered that a large tree had fallen over in her driveway, blocking her only exit," Abe wrote in the New York Magazine.
"Determined to make it out, she borrowed wire cutters from a neighbour, cut a car-size hole in the fence she shared with the neighbours on the other side, and drove through their yard to escape."
The wildfires, which have devastated large portions of the LA area, first ignited in Pacific Palisades and spread to Malibu and Santa Monica, with the Eaton Fire particularly impacting the Altadena-Pasadena area.
Numerous Hollywood stars have lost their homes in the wildfires, including Pratt's ex-wife Anna Faris, Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Paris Hilton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Diane Warren, Cary Elwes, and more.
Must make a three hour drama and donate to the illegals who made her food and trimmed her bush es
Meryl Streep, the 75-year-old actress, had to cut a car-size hole in her fence to escape her home during the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this month. According to her nephew, Abe Streep, Meryl received an evacuation order on January 8, but a fallen tree blocked her driveway, prompting her to borrow wire cutters from a neighbor and cut a hole in the fence to drive through to safety. This dramatic escape was part of the widespread evacuations in the Los Angeles area due to the devastating wildfires that have claimed lives and destroyed thousands of structures.
I was going to say the same thing.
DID SHE GET PERMISSION FROM THE COASTAL COMMISSION ??
Except for the illegals she needed to clean her toilets.
I have a fence up to keep out unwanted people too. also a privacy fence so I don’t have to see them.
Streep home.
But you probably support a fence on our border. She doesn’t.
Let them truckers roll
10-4
It did if she wanted to drive a car through it.
The city will fine her for not having the building permit for a new driveway in a protected easement for duck and turtle migration.
Was that where she had the Kommie sign?
Surprised she has such a cheap fence so easily broken.
Did she go running to her sugar daddy, Harvey Weinstein?
He’s in prison, Jim.................
Your right.
She should have had a helicopter, tank and a boat.🥱
I can’t even imagine the la-la denial land mentality of waiting until you have to bust out your fence to escape from a wildfire that has been raging and somewhat predictably moving...
She’s commented on that?
“Did she have a permit from the state of CA for this work?”
Her notice of code violation is in the mail—unfortunately the mail box probably burned up along with everything else.
She will then get hit with interest and penalties for late payment—probably when she tries to renew her registration for a vehicle.
Bureaucracy has no mercy—and a long reach.
:-)
Why do good things happen to bad people? That said. I wonder what kind of fence she had. It’s hard to believe that she has a chain link fence.
True, but if there's a wild fire heading your way, pack your most treasured possessions and leave.
While you may lose what was left, at least you won't lose EVERYTHING.
