RVs park at Ventura County Fairgrounds after being evacuated from a nearby RV park because of concerns about flooding from the storm

One of the areas evacuated in the big storm was an RV park in Ventura.

Ventura Beach RV Resort saw serious flooding a year ago, so ahead of the big storm, residents were evacuated to Ventura County Fairgrounds. Among them, Sherre Savala.

"They did a mandatory evacuation Sunday afternoon, and we got to learn how to move, how to pack, how to do everything in 12 hours. So we got a good lesson," said Savala.

Ron Williams was traveling from Portland, Oregon in his Airstream, and was evacuated from the RV Park.

Williams spent the night in his RV at the Fairground instead.

He joked that he'd brought the Oregon weather with him, as he prepared to continue his journey south.
