San Francisco residents awoke to a tornado warning, but none touched down there. It was the first such warning for the city since at least 1950.

A rare tornado touched down in Scott's Valley Saturday afternoon. It came after a night of high winds and heavy rain with a passing cold front. Wind speeds had gusted over 80 mph in parts of the Santa Cruz mountains early Saturday morning. Wind gusts even reached 78 mph in Monterey, proving that this was a very powerful wind event.
