Late Night Tornado Warning on the Central Coast
A rare tornado warning was issued late Monday night, surprising many and rattling nerves throughout the Central Coast.
The National Weather Service in Oxnard issued the warning at 11:21 p.m. on Monday, alerting cell phone users along the San Luis Obispo County coastline and the Santa Maria Valley of severe thunderstorms capable of producing a tornado.
"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, and for those outside, in a mobile home, or vehicle to move into the closest substantial shelter to protect themselves from potential flying debris.
