CA Tornado Watch - SRT Forums

x_srt4_x · 02-22-2005, 05:28 PM

Two tornadoes did serious damage to Northern California and Southern California is on a tornado watch this afternoon. Please be careful. Definitely times are changing. Since July we've had 31.8 inches of rain (fifth to the most). The most rain we've ever had in many years. Around the 1880s we had 38 inches.

Please drive safe.
