California town home to British royals ordered evacuated over mudslide fears

Montecito, a town of about 9,000 people that is also a favorite of American entertainment royalty such as Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Aniston, was expected to get up to eight inches of rain in 24 hours -- on hillsides already sodden by weeks of downpours.

Montecito, whose multi-million dollar properties are perched in breathtaking California countryside, is particularly vulnerable to mudslides because it sits at the foot of a mountain range that was ravaged by fire five years ago. Hundreds of square miles of land were scorched in 2017 and 2018, denuding the hillsides of the vegetation that normally keeps soil in place.

The town is also home to several other high-profile entertainers, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Katy Perry, Rob Lowe and Larry David. Spokespeople for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not respond to a request for comment.The evacuation order in Montecito came as California was being lashed by the latest in a parade of storms that have already killed 12 people.

Governor Gavin Newsom said 12 people had died over the last 10 days. Last week he declared a state of emergency and on Sunday was granted a presidential emergency declaration.
