Oprah’s Home Affected by California Mudslides

Oprah Winfrey has shared updates on her home in the midst of California wildfire and mudslides.

The residents of Southern California are now facing mudslides as a result of a winter storm and drought left behind by the wildfire. The mudslides have resulted in over two dozen injured people, two dozen missing persons, and 15 people being killed.

Winfrey shared videos of her property on Instagram. From the videos, you can view a blazing gas fire in Santa Barbara and helicopters rescuing and looking for missing persons. Deep mud sits in her backyard as a result of the mudslides.

What a day! Praying for our community again in Santa Barbara. Woke up to this blazing gas fire. then swipe left to see how deep the mud is in my backyard. Helicopters rescuing my neighbors. Looking for missing persons. 13 lives lost. #Mudslides.
