While not every home in the mudslide’s path was destroyed, Jeff Bridges claims that more than 4 feet of mud, rocks, and other debris came rushing directly into the downstairs part of his abode, prompting him and his wife to flee up the stairs to the highest point in the house. From there, they lost electricity and cell service, and waited while standing on a kitchen countertop for rescuers to arrive.
Finally, the couple heard helicopters circling overhead, though they soon realized that their home’s secluded location in the woods may prevent them from being seen. In an act of quick thinking that would rival the heroism of any action movie hero, Jeff Bridges scrambled out of his home with a set of bed sheets, and arranged them into a giant “SOS” symbol in the mud. This got the attention of rescuers, and hopefully a few Hollywood screenwriters, because it would make an amazing motion picture.
