Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, who recently relocated thousands of miles away to the Cotswolds in England, are experiencing déjà vu as severe flooding hits their new home—mirroring the natural disaster they faced in Montecito, California, just last year.
The couple moved to their 43-acre property in the picturesque English countryside shortly after Donald Trump’s election, reportedly seeking to “get the hell out” of the U.S. Now, their new home is at the center of a massive weather system that has wreaked havoc across the region.
Raging Floods and Damage
The River Thames burst its banks, triggering widespread flooding and powerful 80 MPH winds that have devastated the area. According to reports, the roads surrounding Ellen and Portia’s property are submerged under five feet of water, with much of their land overtaken by the deluge. It’s unclear if anyone has been able to assess the extent of the damage.
Déjà Vu: Montecito Memories
This disaster comes just a year after Ellen’s Montecito home was ravaged by catastrophic floods that claimed 23 lives. During that event, Ellen, Oprah, and other residents were evacuated as torrents of water swept through the area. Ellen shared a dramatic video from the scene, capturing the chaos and destruction.
Uncertain Future for New Home
The extent of the damage to Ellen and Portia’s Cotswolds estate remains unknown, but the situation underscores the challenges of escaping nature’s wrath—even thousands of miles away. As the couple navigates this latest crisis, fans and locals alike are left hoping the damage is minimal and recovery swift.
