Powerful storms continue to slam into the West Coast: Roof is blown off apartment building with debris falling on cars in San Francisco as Montecito residents were warned to evacuate

Residents in star-studded Montecito, California - including Prince Harry and Meghan, Oprah, and Ellen - have been warned to evacuate as powerful storms continue to batter to the West Coast. 

The Golden State saw no relief from drenching rains on Tuesday as roads turned into gushing flood zones, forcing the evacuation of thousands in towns with histories of deadly mudslides. 

Rainfall throughout the day was expected to be 'heavy to excessive' across the state, especially in southern California, as winds gusts were clocked at more than 40 miles an hour in many places, the National Weather Service said.
