Ellen DeGeneres documented a torrential creek outside her Montecito property on Monday as evacuations were ordered due to heavy storms hitting California.

Montecito is under complete evacuation the entire town, DeGeneres said in the clip published on both Instagram and Twitter .

This is the five-year anniversary from the fire and mudslides that killed so many people. People lost their homes, their lives. This is crazy, she added, referring to the 2018 event that killed 23 people and destroyed more than 100 homes.

On the five-year anniversary, were having unprecedented rain, she continued. This creek next to our house never flows, ever. Its probably about 9 feet up, and its going another 2 feet up.

DeGeneres added that she and her wife, Portia de Rossi , have horses ready to evacuate and urged those watching to be nicer to Mother Nature, cause Mother Nature is not happy with us. Montecitos evacuation order includes an estimated 10,000 people.

Fire Chief Kevin Taylor said the wealthy coastal enclave saw 8 inches of rain in a period of 12 hours. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said evacuations were ordered due to the continuing high rate of rainfall with no indication that that is going to change before nightfall.
