Meryl Streep's Daring Escape from Wildfires

During the recent Southern California wildfires, Meryl Streep faced an evacuation challenge when a fallen tree blocked her driveway. Using borrowed wire cutters, she cut a hole in the fence and drove through her neighbor's yard to escape. The fires, among the most destructive in LA history, claimed 29 lives and destroyed over 16,200 structures. Fellow residents, including actor Martin Short and Haley Joel Osment, shared their own evacuations and losses. With recent rain, fire containment has improved, but damage assessments continue.
