Ellen DeGeneres is sharing her experience as she shelters at home amid life-threatening flash flooding in Santa Barbara, Calif.
DeGeneres shared a video at her home in the county's Montecito region on Monday, writing in a caption, “Montecito is under mandatory evacuation. We are on higher ground so they asked us to shelter in place. Please stay safe everyone.”
The video shows a raging flood of water, which the TV host and comedian says was filmed in an area next to her house. DeGeneres begins by referring to the deadly floods and mudslides that hit the area five years ago today.
