Tide Dents Near Ventura As Mobile Homes Are Stabilized
Ventura County fire crews towed 50-foot mobile homes with pickups to shift them from crashing surf. Rams player Martin Olsen helped dump sand and water into 10-foot bags under the home’s footings, creating 7,000 pounds of packed sand to slow cracking. The Johnsons and Rowlands spent nights away from their homes, then returned to search the strand at Channel Islands Marina and Oxnard.
