Written by The National Weather Service has confirmed reports of multiple tornadoes that touched down in California’s Central Valley on Tuesday, as a powerful spring storm passed through the region. According to the agency’s Hanford office, two tornadoes touched down in Fresno County, while a third tornado touched down in Merced County. Meteorologists said the first tornado touched down 2.5 miles southeast of the community of Biola in Fresno County around 2:10 p.m.
The EF0 tornado had an estimated peak wind of 70 mph and lasted for about two minutes. Around the same time, the weather service issued multiple tornado warnings for areas north of Fresno. According to Fresno CBS affiliate KGPE-TV, school districts in the area issued shelter-in-place orders when the warnings were in effect. A second tornado in Fresno County was reported shortly before 5:10 p.m. about 8.5 miles northeast of the city of Clovis. The tornado covered two miles and lasted for about seven minutes “Damage assessment team reported snapped and uprooted trees consistent with EF1 damage from tornado around 5:24PM PDT,” the agency’s Storm Prediction Center said in a statement.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”
