California has faced violent – and deadly – weather over the last few weeks, including heavy rain, wind and even snow.
Shockwaves rippled across Los Angeles when a rare tornado touched down roughly 11 miles outside the city’s downtown Wednesday morning.
“It’s definitely not something that’s common for the region,” said weather service meteorologist Rose Schoenfeld. At least 17 buildings in the area were inspected and were 11 marked as uninhabitable, the fire department said. Several cars were also damaged.
