The National Weather Service, in the Bush Administration, KNEW IN ADVANCE there would be a tornado in the Sacramento area today, and didn't tell us!!!

....Nasty weather in Sacramento today. It hailed for about 10 minutes (very unusual), and the hail stuck! I hope Shaq goes outside, slips, and stubs his "owie".

Governor Davis has just blamed this on Enron.

[SpottedBeaver]

Wow! Tornados aren't something you see in California. It's possible but extremely rare. Heads up.

[Doomonyou]

And Algore just blamed it on global warming!

Hillary out there again raising funds for her presidential run?

[Tree of Liberty]

Not as rare as one might think.

Yep, but look at the strength of those tornados. Every single one of them is a limp-wristed fairy tornado.

Not one of them is big enough to lift a house and transport it to Oz. Not even big enough to pick up Toto....

Great post. Interesting record. I remember the tornado in Solano County (SEP 18, 1989 F0). There was a huge wind that whipped up, from a dead calm. It had been raining, and when I went outside to observe the unusual gusts, I noticed that the temperature outside was unusually warm. I later heard that a tornado had touched down just east of our town. So the funnel cloud passed over our house, but didn't touch down for another mile or so.

Interesting to note that California tornadoes are rarely more than an F1. Enough, I'm sure, to create havoc in a mobilehome park.

More like heads down! I've seen numerous tornadoes over the course of my life in Louisiana- IMHO there is absolutely no scarier thing to be near. Get in the bathtub, cover it with a mattress, and PRAY God will let you be alive when it's gone.

Severe thunderstorm warning-- 3/4" in hail, cold temps-- doesn't feel like global warming-- my shoulder hurts.

Tornado Warning: Possible tornadoes sighted near Woodland (California)

Earthquakes.

Tornadoes.

Drought (driest "rain" season on record here in Southern California).

Astronomical increases in electric bills.

A swing from a $12 BILLION state surplus to a $27 BILLION DEFICIT in about three years.

Cuts in health care, education, etc...

Increases in tax rates, car licensing/registration fees, etc., etc., etc.,....

See what happens when you get one-party rule by the Democrats in a state?
Let this be a warning to all of you outside of California.

We get these weekly in the spring here in Bama. We have the weather nutso's that chase them around while reporting on the ham radio. I had rather listen to them then the durn weather stations reports. Quite interesting... really..

As George Herbert Walker Bush would say: Marin County Hot-Tubber Waterspouts.

[Redcloak]

Only if it sucks up a møøse.

I remember listening to a radio interview with Johhny Carson once........he was asked something about the California atmosphere/weather and he laughed and said the earthquakes were over and the mudslides were putting out the wildfires........

Ya'll Stay Safe !

Lived in Dixon while assigned to Travis - a neighbor owned the El Charro restaurant and his wife brought us homemade tamales occasionally.....fantastic! Hope the tornado didn't scare all the seniors in Leisure Town.

[fivecatsandadog]

yep, that's what I thought, too - gotta be a water spout or dust devil.
