>> absolutely not. this town has evacuation fatigue. a lot of people were complacent. >> reporter: this is what people had to escape through, large trees, boulder, even cars rushing down the street and through these homes. if you look past the search-and-rescue team here, there's still about three feet of mud inside this home, and it's thick, it's like quicksand, but the good news, jeff, that orange x means this home has been checked and so far no one has been found. >> glor: carter evans, thank you very much. man who lives here in montecito just a few blocks down told me an extraordinary story today. in a flash, he went from witnessing the horror of what was happening last night to becoming one of the heroes. first berkeley johnson heard the roar. then he saw the rush of mud. >> coming up trees just dropping, and then i saw it. it was probably 20 feet high of just rock and cars and trunks of trees. i just ran for it. i kicked out the window there to keep the water pouring out. we got up on the roof here and huddled up there. >> glor: did you think you were going to die? >> yeah. potentially. >> glor: the wall of dirt and debris left his home and his neighborhood devastated. power lines down, trees snapped and piled up, but in the darkness, he heard a very cry of life. >> he heard this little cry. i don't know how he heard it because it was so loud with all the stuff, but it went into this pile, and down that muck in the middle of nowhere was a little baby, a little child just in the mud up to its -- tangled in the roots and the nettle and the rock. if we weren't standing within two feet of that thing, we would so many things had to happen to get to the point where we were standing two feet away. i grabbed it, pulled it out. it was covered in mud. >> glor: the girl's okay? >> the girl's okay. it was unbelievable. if you had seen just... there's no way that we should have found that child, and probably 15 more minutes it wouldn't have been alive because it was cold and it had been there for a while. >> glor: at the johnson's today, where everything seemed lost, a little luck was found. >> you found it?
