Laura said that herself and Spielberg were being moved to a safer area in their hotel when they witnessed the damage the hurricane was causing: “We were thrown up against a wall and I’ll never forget seeing everything go sideways. Palm trees, pieces of cars, roofs of houses and it was insane,” she said. “Amazingly that community came together and we survived it.”
