This image provided by the Ventura County Fire Department shows a home on San Como Lane in Camarillo Calif., inundated by mud and debris from a hillside early Saturday Nov. 1, 2014. Fire Capt. Mike Lindbery of the Ventura County Fire Department says residents from about 11 homes were evacuated early Saturday in the neighborhood of Camarillo.
Authorities said 11 residences in Ventura County were evacuated late Friday and early Saturday after mud and debris from a hillside struck at least two of them, partially burying one man.
Capt. Mike Lindbery of the Ventura County Fire Department said the evacuations were going on in a neighborhood in the city of Camarillo.
He said heavy rains Friday night played a role in the mud flow, but he didn't know to what extent.
A fire crew rescued the man uninjured after he became mired waist-deep in mud at his home.
