Late Night Tornado Warning Surprises Many on the Central Coast
A rare tornado warning was issued at 11:21 p.m. on Monday night by the National Weather Service in Oxnard, surprising many and rattling nerves throughout the Central Coast.
Cell phone users along the San Luis Obispo County coastline and in the Santa Maria Valley received a loud warning on their devices, indicating severe thunderstorms capable of producing a tornado were in the region.
It was pretty scary, said Eddie Rocha of Santa Maria. When I saw it, that was the first time I saw one of those.
The warning advised people to seek shelter in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Those outside, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle were told to move to the closest substantial shelter to protect themselves from potential flying debris.
