Tornadoes in the San Francisco Bay Area
Yesterday morning a tornado or two touched down not far north of the San Francisco Bay.
The one storm report showing up right now on the Storm Prediction Center site is for a tornado at 1615Z (9:15 am Pacific Time) in Santa Rosa, California. The report said “EF1 tornado completely destroyed metal building and severely bent metal gate.”
I also heard that there may have been another tornado yesterday over the water, making it a waterspout.
While there were a few tornado-warned supercells around the Bay Area, the primary severe weather threat in the area was for high winds.
