The Southern California coastal town of Montecito - a seaside haven for celebrities and billionaires - is under an evacuation order after the latest torrential downpour that’s drenched the state.

The area is forecast to receive even heavier rainfall later on Monday after being dumped with 5 inches from the early morning, the Montecito Fire Department said in a Twitter post.
