The National Weather Service issued a rare tornado warning for Southwestern Los Angeles County and Central Ventura County on March 21, 2023. A severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located near Point Mugu State Park and was expected to make its way to Western Malibu and Newbury Park. Residents and visitors in the affected areas were advised to take cover and move to an interior room on the lowest floor if a basement is unavailable. Despite the warning, no extreme weather event was reported. The tornado alert was later canceled. This rare tornado warning in the Los Angeles area has raised questions about the preparedness of the county to handle tornadoes. In the hours before the tornado warning, the National Weather Service cautioned residents about waterspouts, hail, and landspouts, raising more concerns on how the county would handle these weather phenomena. The Los Angeles County officials have yet to comment on the issue.
