Tornado warning for
Ventura county during my commute through Ventura on my way to Camarillo. From Caltrans:

Highway
101 at La Conchita near the Santa Barbara/Ventura County line will remain closed for
an indeterminate time due to mudslides and flooding. US 101 [LOS ANGELES & VENTURA
CO.’S] IS CLOSED AT LA CONCHITA RD /IN VENTURA/ (VENTURA CO) – DUE TO FLOODING – MOTORISTS
ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE [CENTRAL COAST] IS CLOSED TO SOUTHBOUND TRAFFIC
AT THE VENTURA/SANTA BARBARA CO LINE – DUE TO A MUD SLIDE – MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED
TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE

Advised to use alternate route??? That is in a section of the freeway
where there are mountains on one side and the ocean on another. There are no off ramps,
there are no frontage roads, the only alternate route is to go east on the 154 through
Ojai and back to Ventura on the 33, but 154 is very prone to mudslides.

I got about 3 miles down the freeway this morning at 7 am. In 45 minutes we moved
about 3 car lengths. I finally turned around and drove the wrong way on the shoulder
back to the Bates on ramp. I drove off the freeway on the on ramp and and came home.
I’ll work from home today. The miracles of remote computings.
