Heavy rain has caused severe flooding and mudslides throughout Ventura County.
A number of evacuation orders have been issued for the area, including La Conchita and the Ventura Beach RV Resort.
Sierra Rivers, a traveling nurse, is one of the many people staying at the RV park that has had to evacuate twice in the last week in between her 12 hour shifts. The Ventura River was rushing late Monday afternoon, raising water levels to a depth of 25 feet. Thus far, Ventura County Fire Department has rescued more than a dozen people from the river — seven by air via the department's rescue helicopter. The others were rescued by ladder dropped from an overpass.
