“The proclamation was created in consultation with the LA County Fire Department and LA County Sheriff’s Department, citing public safety concerns as an expanding sinkhole restricts vital access for residents and emergency services,” it said.
“Authorities warn that these conditions are likely to worsen with forecasted high tides and rain caused by Hurricane Marie. A coastal flood advisory has been issued … [and] an evacuation order is in effect for all affected properties.
“Sheriff Deputies have notified residents in person, and a digital alert has been issued by the city through Everbridge.
“A temporary shelter is being established by the American Red Cross at Malibu High School for the affected properties.”
Authorities warned conditions could worsen in the area because of high tides and rain associated with Hurricane Marie.
At one time, Cage had a huge property portfolio including homes in Malibu, New Orleans and the Caribbean, along with castles in Germany and England, and he previously revealed he was inspired in his purchases by his “grail quest”.
He told the New York Times: “That was the time when I almost went on – you might call it a grail quest. I started following mythology, and I was finding properties that aligned with that. It was almost like National Treasure.
“One thing would lead to another. For me it was all about where was the grail? Was it here? Was it there? Is it at Glastonbury? Does it exist? That led to there being talk that people had come to Rhode Island, and they were looking for something as well.
“I don’t know if I’m going to say that’s why I bought the Rhode Island property. But I will say that is why I went to Rhode Island, and I happened to find the place beautiful. But yes, this had put me on a search around different areas, mostly in England, but also some places in the States. What I ultimately found is: what is the grail but Earth itself?”
