L.A. coast slammed by tornado-like storm

WEATHER!?!?!?!?! Yes, we've got weather baby. Ok so yes, maybe after a huge SD downpour yesterday things ended sunny and calm but in LA there was supposedly HAIL and TORNADOES!? Nutty. And there is more to come, check out the 10 Day San Diego Forecast.



From The LA Times
With storms expected to drop heavy rain on the Southland this week, a storm with tornado-like strength pounded the Southern California coast this afternoon, flipping a car, causing major street flooding, damaging homes and stranding motorists.

The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for the South Los Angeles, Long Beach and Whittier areas this afternoon.

Witnesses reported seeing a tornado touch down in Sunset Beach and lift boats out of the water as it came onshore. Flooding and loose boats were reported throughout Sunset Beach and Huntington Harbor. A CNN television news report showed footage of a dozens of cars struggling to drive through flood waters in Long Beach and San Pedro.
