In all, three RVs fell into the water at the Valencia Travel Village RV Park in California, KABC reported.

The first two were washed away into the Santa Clara River around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. A video of the incident was shared by the Ventura County Air Unit on Twitter.

Crews were trying to move other trailers and motor homes after the first succumbed to Mother Nature, but the third vehicle was not able to get out of its spot in time.

The dirt under the large motor home can be seen falling away, sending the RV into the river. The video was captured by a photojournalist at KTLA and has been shared nationally.

People staying at the Valencia RV Park told KABC they couldn’t believe how fast the water ate away the embankment.

KCBS reported that no one was in any of the RVs when they went into the river and no one was hurt.

The flooding was part of an unusual storm that hit the Los Angeles area leaving snow in Southern California where it isn’t normally seen, KNBC reported.

A blizzard warning was issued for Los Angeles County’s mountains that ran out Saturday evening with some areas expected to see 6 to 12 inches of snow by Saturday night at elevations as low as 2,000 feet, according to KNBC.
