In the early morning hours, San Francisco residents experienced a tornado warning for the first time, causing confusion after a recent tsunami warning that never materialized.
The National Weather Service detected wind rotation within a storm cell near San Mateo, which was aimed directly at San Francisco, leading to the unusual tornado warning.
While the warning was issued, it remained unclear whether a tornado actually formed, as it was within a 'rain wrapped' cell making detection challenging.
Despite the tornado warning ending quickly, the high winds caused significant damage, leading to multiple calls about downed trees and power outages across the city.
