Tornado in Orange County-Seal Beach, Huntinton beach, and Fountain Valley

[David]

I'm nearby. It's one of those "cold-weather" tornadoes that occur every so often when these colder Pacific storms blow through.

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.
