" Its height is probably about nine feet (about 3 meters - ed..
) and he is about to rise another two feet (approximately 60 centimeters - ed.. ),” said the TV presenter.. Due to the danger, Ellen joined the state government and urged all residents of the area to evacuate.
Montecito is under mandatory evacuation. We are on a hill so we were asked to take shelter in place. Please stay safe,"
