California had tornadoes over 20 years ago. The LA Basin is, at least
on a Western-USA scale, a bit of a "tornado alley" and has been known to
meteoroligists as being one before the 1980's. Tornadoes are most likely
there during the winter storm season, with the risk having a high positive
correlation with El Nino. It seems to me that in most wither storm
seasons with an above-average El Nino at least one tornado touches down in
the LA Basin. And that happened back in the 1982-1983 winter storm
season, and back then it was not a "first".
