On Wednesday afternoon, Micaela Vargas stood in front of her Kia Telluride, which she’d parked near her workplace in Montebello.
On top of her car and several others was a massive, leafy section of a tree, thrown there by a tornado that touched down in the area Wednesday afternoon.A videos on social media showed a dark funnel cloud forming over the Montebello area and debris flying hundreds of feet into the air.The remarkable ‘bomb cyclone’ storm is losing energy as it moves southeast, but it could still cause damage and flooding, especially in the already soaked Central Valley.
The weather service sent a survey team to Montebello to examine the scene and determine whether a tornado touched down, said Kristen Stewart, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Oxnard office. The agency had already determined that a “weak” tornado touched down in Carpinteria on Tuesday. It was rated EF0 on a 0 to 5 scale and had winds of up to 75 miles per hour.
