The latest storm to move into the Tri-Counties is prompting a full closure of an already damaged highway in the region. It's in Ventura County. Caltrans is shutting down Highway 33 at Fairview Road at 8 a.m. Saturday. The closure applies to everyone, even residents who live north of the closure.
Caltrans officials are advising people to stock up on supplies now. Up until now, residents had been allowed past the closure which applied to people traveling through the area.

The duration of the full shutdown is unknown, but it could be through the storm, which is expected to last into Tuesday.
