I've seen tornadoes & funnel clouds (which are tornadoes that have not touched ground) in Southern California several times over the years, from Irvine to Riverside to San Diego. They are never the F4 or F5 super-cell monsters that roar through Tornado Alley. They are much weaker storms -- you sometimes hear that they tore a roof of a building (years ago, a tornado damaged the roof on the Los Angeles Sports Arena) or tore up some large trees.

No biggie.
Although, some pictures of the water spout off of Seal Beach about 2pm yesterday was pretty impressive. Guess the Peter's Landing shopping center in Huntington Harbour got messed up pretty good.

Why would ANYONE want to buy a house on the beach off the south side of the Seal Beach pier? (Or in Sunset Beach, for that matter)?

The 710 fwy between Willow St & PCH was flooded 6' deep.
