Santa Ana Winds are strong, dry winds that typically occur in Southern California during the fall and winter. The winds can reach hurricane-force speeds, which can quickly spread wildfires.

Hanks' home is situated on a cliffside, and it was fortunate that the fire just above his property did not spread to his house. The flames destroyed the property directly above his home, but his house remained unscathed

it narrowly escaped the devastating wildfires that have been ravaging the region.

It's a Really a Miracle how Tom Hank's mansion escaped.

The house is a large, four-bedroom, five-bathroom property, valued at around $26 million. Its sturdy construction and materials likely contributed to its resilience against the fire

It's a relief that Tom Hanks' home survived the wildfires, but the situation remains dire for many others affected by the disaster.

In the Aerial photos taken during the fire showed Hanks’ white cliffside mansion unscathed, while the mansion just above his was blackened and still smoking.

The home’s proximity to the edge of the hillside likely contributed to its survival, as it was far enough from the immediate fire’s path to avoid catching fire. Additionally, the absence of debris on the roof and in the backyard patio indicated that the fire did not reach Hanks’ property.

Firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the spread of the wildfires and protect properties in the area. Their efforts helped prevent the flames from reaching Hanks' home

It's really Devastating wildfire, So many lost their homes but this mansion stood tall on the cliff very proudly saying fire won't touch me.
