It is rare that a tornado warning is being released in LA as storm crashed into southern California, dumping heavy rain and snow across the region, leaving many homes no electricity.

National Weather Service Ryan Kittell said that a strong storm is moving from the Pacific through Central and Souther California  bringing wind of about 60 miles per hour. This triggered the tornado alerts in different parts of California. “We do get them from time to time but they are pretty rare,” Kittel said.

Different authorities have been station on affected areas to monitor possible mudslides and flashfloods. LA County firefighters have reported minor flooding but there is no major damage or injuries.

Experts recommended that if there is an imminent danger for tornado, the best place to hide is in a basement. IF there is no basemet, it is highly urged that the residents seek shelter on the lowest floor of a building possible, and within a hallway or a room. Stay away from windows and protect yourself from injury by covering yourself with blankets or pillows.

The warnings have been canceled in LA by National Weather Service at around 12:30 pm but San Diego and Orange Counties are still on alert.
