At the time of posting, severe storms are moving through the state of California. Cities such as Montecito are experiencing heavy rain and flooding and many people were told to evacuate to safety for the time being. Many stars live in this area, including Ellen DeGeneres. She gave a look at just how bad the flooding is near her home.

Ellen shared a video of the flood. She explained that there is a creek right near her home but it usually “never flows.” However, now with the heavy rain and storms, it was raging. She added, “It’s probably about 9ft up, and it could go another 2ft up. We have horses ready to evacuate.”

She continued, “This is the 5 year anniversary from the fire and mudslides that killed so many people and people lost their homes, their lives. This is crazy. On the five year anniversary, we’re having unprecedented rain. We need to be nicer to mother nature cause mother nature is not happy with us. Let’s all do our part. Stay safe everybody.”

Other stars such as Oprah, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle live in homes nearby. Montecito is not just home to celebrities but people from all backgrounds. Hoping the weather calms down soon and everyone there stays safe!
