As with communities up and town the California coast, Oprah Winfrey’s hometown of Montecito faced the possibility of devastating floods during this past winter’s heavy rains.But the media mogul’s apparent effort to prevent flooding from a creek that runs along her Montecito estate has irked neighbors and and raised concerns among Santa Barbara County officials over whether the construction of a boulder wall was properly permitted, according to Santa Barbara County news site Noozhawk. They don’t know if the wall, built to prevent erosion along San Ysidro Creek, could stand up to a deluge from a next major storm or could reroute water in ways that could damage other properties, Noozhawk said.Earlier this year, Montecito was evacuated when a storm swept through the community. The town also was the scene of tragedy in 2018, when a mudslide killed 23 people, a number of whom were swept into San Ysidro Creek, the Los Angeles Times said. Winfrey herself posted video...
