Cut a ‘car-sized’ hole in the fence
Abe revealed that Meryl had to cut a large hole in the fence to make her escape. When she received the evacuation order and tried to leave, a big tree fell across her driveway, completely blocking her only exit. It was a terrifying situation, leaving her with no clear way out. Looking for another way, she decided to cut a ‘car-sized’ hole in her and her neighbour's fence.
Abe added, “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.”
