The worst storm to hit California in years devastated buildings and freeways throughout the state last weekend. The storm, known as the Pineapple Express, hit northern California and then traveled to southern California.

The storm included not only rain and wind, but also a small tornado in southern Los Angeles. On Fri., the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) Los Angeles reported, “The National Weather Service confirmed that a small EF0 tornado — the smallest type of tornado with winds reaching 65 to 85 mph — touched down at about 9:20 a.m. Friday. The twister knocked down trees, blew out windows, damaged an apartment complex’s roof and the roofs of two homes and a steel billboard.”

NBC Los Angeles continued to report that on Friday, “nearly two inches of rain fell in Beverly Hills and the California Highway Patrol said Los Angeles County saw more than three times more crashes than normal between 5 and 10 a.m.”

But this weather is not all bad news. The Los Angeles Department of Public Works tweeted that the amount of stormwater totaled 1.8 billion gallons, which is enough to supply water to 44,000 residents for a year.

The wet weather is set to continue Monday through Wednesday but the storm will not be as severe.
