STORYLINE:
A Pacific storm has pounded parts of Southern California with heavy rain, street flooding and a possible tornado, adding to hassles as holiday travel gets underway.
Downpours Thursday targeted coastal Ventura and Santa Barbara counties northwest of Los Angeles County, swamping areas in the cities of Oxnard, Port Hueneme and Santa Barbara.
The National Weather Service says rainfall rates exceeded 3 inches an hour in Ventura County. Port Hueneme officials issued evacuation orders for residences on four streets, and an evacuation center was set up at a college gymnasium.
An early morning tornado warning was issued for the area but Ventura County authorities say no tornado activity was immediately observed.
