National Weather Service survey teams have been dispatched to investigate damage caused by two possible tornadoes in Southern California.
VIDEO: Flooding rains, fierce winds and more snow pound West CoastA possible tornado touched down southeast of Los Angeles on Wednesday, ripping pieces of roofing off a line of commercial buildings and sending the debris twisting into the sky.
The rare and violent weather came amid a strong late-season Pacific storm that brought damaging winds and more rain and snow to saturated California. Two people died Tuesday as the storm raked the San Francisco Bay Area with powerful gusts and downpours. The wind and rain mayhem from San Francisco Bay south to Monterey Bay on Tuesday was caused by an extraordinary drop in barometric pressure over the eastern Pacific that meteorologists described as “explosive cyclogenisis.”
An Amtrak commuter train carrying 55 passengers struck a downed tree and derailed near the East Bay village of Porta Costa. The train remained upright and nobody was injured, Amtrak and fire officials said. Some 121,000 customers were without electricity early Wednesday throughout the state, according to PowerOutage.us.
