San Francisco jolted awake by its first-ever tornado warning

The warning, which expired minutes later, urged people to take shelter from possible flying debris.

Now that the power is back on where we're at and the wifi works, here's my garbage photo of the #tornado that blew through #ScottsValley #California earlier this afternoon.

And we just saw either an incredibly big #whirlwind or a small #tornado go by in #ScottsValley #California 😳

It was tossing what appeared to be roofing material into the sky in a tornadic fashion.

A few notes on this morning's #Tornado Warning for San Francisco from NWS Bay Area (I am still traveling, so my live interactions are still somewhat limited):

1) Yes, a formal warning was issued by NWS for San Francisco this AM based on a suggestive radar signature. #CAwx [1/7]

Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tornado warning for San Francisco before.
