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.
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.
