A possible tornado hit the city of Montebello, just southeast of Los Angeles, leaving at least one injured and causing damage to several buildings. Tornadoes in California are rare, with an average of fewer than 10 per year, and are typically smaller and shorter-lived than tornadoes in other regions. The National Weather Service has dispatched a team to assess the damage caused by the rare event. Videos show debris swirling in the air and the roof of a nearby building being blown off. It is not known whether there are other injuries, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will further study whether the event was the consequence of a tornado. The incident happened during a storm with heavy rain and snowfall that hit the state of California.
