Ventura County Public Works officials are tracking the storm moving through the Tri-Counties for potential flooding issues.

No mandatory evacuations ordered.

In Ventura County, no major storm evacuations are anticipated at this point.

Ventura County Public Works Director Jeff Pratt says there are a couple of potential trouble spots, but they aren’t near neighborhoods.

"Lower Ventura River is probably going to see the worst... Conejo Creek will see some farm field flooding south of the 101," said Pratt. "But, we're watching a number of other areas. We're not seeing the intensity that would indicate there are going to be slides."

Pratt says Ventura County’s Public Works team is geared up with extra equipment and staff staged to get to potential trouble spots quickly.
