| Title: | FLOODING OF CALIFORNIA'S VENTURA BEACH RV RESORT IN FEBRUARY 1992 |
| Caption: | The RV park was built directly across a historically active distributary channel of the Ventura River delta. The recurrence interval of this flood is approximately 22 years. A similar flood occurred again in 1995. On the left, U.S. 101, the Pacific Coast Highway, is completely closed by the flood event. (Mark J. Terrell/AP Wide World Photos) |
