However, in association with the same system was a tornado yesterday. In California. Tornadoes are already rare in California, as they only average 4 tornadoes a year in the state. This tornado actually caused a pretty decent amount of damage across the town of Denair, CA, and was rated an EF-1 tornado, with winds of 111 mph.

 

Check out some of the damage, and keep these folks in your thoughts and prayers as they clean up after the tornado.
