Malibu Driveway Collapse Leaves Five Homes Uninhabitable Amid El Niño Surf

A driveway in front of a vacant beachfront home in Malibu collapsed on Tuesday morning following heavy rainfall and high surf, damaging a gas main and leaving five nearby homes red-tagged as uninhabitable. The incident, located on Sea Level Drive, is part of a broader pattern of coastal erosion along Southern California’s shoreline driven by strong El Niño conditions and the lingering effects of Tropical Storm Marie. While no injuries were reported, city officials are monitoring the situation closely as high tides and large waves continue to threaten residential areas in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Expanding Sinkhole at Malibu Home Forces Evacuation of 31 Properties

A massive sinkhole opened beneath the driveway of a beachfront home in Malibu, California, reportedly owned by actor Nicolas Cage. The collapse, which began as an 8-foot crack on Monday, expanded into a 30-foot-deep crater by Tuesday morning, triggering a gas leak and emergency evacuations for 31 nearby homes. Authorities cited heavy rain from Tropical Storm Marie and high tides as contributing factors, warning that conditions may worsen due to coastal erosion.

Coastal Erosion and Storm Surges Trigger Evacuations at Malibu Home

A massive sinkhole opened in the driveway of a vacant Malibu oceanfront home on Tuesday, prompting the city to declare a local emergency and order evacuations for 31 properties. The collapse, which measured approximately 25 feet deep and 30 by 60 feet wide by evening, was attributed to coastal erosion exacerbated by high tides and rainfall from Tropical Storm Marie. Utility crews shut off gas and water services in the area, and a temporary shelter was established at Malibu High School. While the property is reportedly owned by actor Nicolas Cage, no injuries were reported, and officials warned that conditions could worsen due to ongoing storm surges and El Niño effects.

Tropical Storm Marie’s Moisture Fuels Record Humidity and Dangerous Surf in SoCal

Tropical Storm Marie, located hundreds of miles offshore, is driving a week of extreme humidity and dangerous surf across Southern California. Forecasters warn that lingering tropical moisture combined with a high-pressure ridge will create 'feels like' temperatures reaching 110 degrees. Coastal areas face high surf, rip currents, and record-high tides, with heat advisories expanding through the week.

Tropical Storm Marie threatens Southern California with dangerous surf and humidity this weekend

Tropical Storm Marie is expected to intensify into a hurricane by late Wednesday, September 2, 2026, before moving northwest. While the storm itself is not forecast to make landfall, it will generate significant swells that could reach Southern California by Labor Day weekend. The National Hurricane Center warns of life-threatening surf and rip currents, particularly north of Oceanside. Forecasters also anticipate increased humidity, scattered rain, and coastal flooding risks due to an emerging El Niño and unusually warm ocean temperatures. Current models show uncertainty regarding the storm's exact path, with some projections indicating it may move west into open waters before dissipating.

Tropical Storm Marie to Boost Rain Chances in Arizona and Southern California

Tropical Storm Marie, which formed off Mexico’s coast on September 2, 2026, is expected to remain offshore but will pull moisture into the southwestern United States. Arizona faces a 30-40% chance of rain from Thursday night to Saturday morning, while Southern California may see scattered showers and up to 0.5 inches of rain in mountainous areas by Labor Day. The storm is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane before weakening as it moves northwest.

Experts Dismiss Viral Fears of Hurricane Marie Hitting California, Citing Low Probability

Social media speculation that Tropical Storm Marie will hit Southern California next week is unfounded, according to meteorologists. While the storm is expected to strengthen, current models show it is unlikely to reach the U.S. coast. However, indirect impacts such as rough seas and coastal flooding remain possible. Forecasters emphasize that the scenario of a direct landfall is the 'least likely outcome' due to high variability and the need for a 'perfect sequence of events' to occur.

Tropical Storm Marie threatens Southern California with coastal flooding, not hurricane winds, for Labor Day

Tropical Storm Marie, developing south of Baja California, may bring coastal flooding and heavy rain to Southern California by Labor Day weekend, though it is expected to weaken significantly before reaching the coast. Forecasters warn of high uncertainty in the storm's path, with the most likely outcome being a decaying system that delivers moisture and dangerous surf rather than hurricane-force winds. The event highlights ongoing risks from record ocean temperatures and a developing El Niño, which could increase future tropical cyclone impacts on the region.

Forecasters Dismiss Hurricane Threat to SoCal, Citing Low Confidence and Cold Water

Tropical Storm Marie is being monitored for potential impacts on Southern California during Labor Day weekend, but forecasters deem a direct landfall unlikely. While some models suggest the system could bring heavy rain and high surf, the National Weather Service states that a tropical storm reaching the coast is the 'least likely outcome.' Cold ocean waters are expected to weaken any approaching system, and current forecasts indicate a high chance of large waves and rip currents but a low probability of widespread flooding or significant rainfall.
