Nope, not kidding. I lived there for over 40 years and never heard of a tornado in CA.

Was in LA during the 84 El Nino. IIRC, there were tornados and golf ball sized hail. Another lifetime. Rained so hard the floors where I was shook.

Now, I do remember that one. It hit SoCal during lunch one day; by the time we got back to the base at El Toro it was pouring sheets of rain and hail. By the time we were due to get off work, every road off the base was flooded.
Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention.

March ‘83 F2 Tornado struck downtown LA and injured 30 people. I was in the 5th grade and remember it like it was yesterday. This was the event that made me a storm chaser! LOL!

As an east coast transplant now living in the San Fernando Valley, I alway got a chuckle when a 1/16” of rain is the first 15 minutes of the local news report. I have to say however that is not the case this time. It flat out poured here today!

Wow, I knew CA had four seasons- flood, fire, earthquake and mudslides. Now they are having tornadoes?? When I lived there, residents always proudly boasted, “At least we don’t have tornadoes!”

Well, that’s OK. I hear the memory goes 1st. ;>
(Now that was a joke. I must be in a fairly good mood. Remember this moment. It may not come again for a while.)

A tornado just flipped a car over in Seal Beach. Damn I am close to that...but I think it is over for my locale...sky is getting lighter....
To: combat_boots
LOL!
Seriously, stay safe down there. El Nino means our weather mellows out, but yours gets unruly.

You picked a good time to come up here and, hey, Newport Beach: now that’s ritzy. LOL. Rain slacked off a few minutes ago and now, there is even blue sky up there. What a dramatic storm.

I used to work in Brentwood and commute back and forth from Newhall via the Sepulveda Impasse.....rain always made it a nightmare, expecially given the inevitable closures of the Coast Highway....all those people would join my throng.
On days like this I'm happy I chucked it and moved out to the desert.
