A tornado touched down in Montebello Wednesday morning, tearing up the roofs on multiple industrial buildings, damaging cars and injuring at least one person.
Buildings were being evacuated in the area and an urban search-and-rescue team was dispatched to look for anyone potentially trapped in the wreckage.
The National Weather Service confirmed during a press conference that a tornado touched down in Montebello around 11:20 a.m.
Montebello fire officials say only one minor injury has been reported as a result of the tornado activity.
Inspectors checked 17 buildings in the area, and 11 of them have been red-tagged due to the damage suffered in the storm, according to the fire department.
The landspout – a type of weaker tornado that forms closer to the ground – hit in the 1200 block of South Vail Avenue. At least five buildings were displaying pieces of their roofs torn off or collapsed. Some of them were left with gaping holes in the roofs even as rain continued to fall sporadically in the area.
Gas and electric companies were called to the scene because of damage to utility lines.

All I know is, horrible tornados are going to be hitting the US this season in tornado ally.
Just another day 🥱
Born in Pasadena 1956. My first love. Moved to Oregon 1996. My heart breaks over the horrific breakdown of Calif. Now this crazy weather—
Lived through Earthquakes 1973 Sylmar , Northridge 1994?, Malibu fires but never a tornado 🌪 Love and prayers to all involved. 🙏🏼
Tornado is supposed to happen in Texas Oklahoma Kansas Nebraska or South Dakota but not California
Did the regional NWS office issue a tornado warning for this storm?
Wth?! A tornado in East Los Angeles?! 😰 What's next? 🙏
So weird to see blue sky and a tornado tearing through town 🌪️
We had a front that spawned 15 tornadoes statewide in a single night here in Oklahoma in February. That set an off season record for the State. I wonder what spring will bring us! Stay safe everybody!!!
Hope No one was hurt in this crazy weather.
Partly sunny tornado… that's new
oh sweetie! At 6:20…Awesome!!
The guy seems SO surprised there's a Tornado. I live in Texas man ! DEAL WITH IT! Hit the ditch or get in the bath tub idiot! Might want to invest in a cellar.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow 😱that dude rode out the tornado 🌪 in the ass end of a semi trailer!his balls must be made of steel.
"Sfokin turdnado mang!"
This is probably some of the best California tornado footage out their. While yes they do see about 7 per year most are weak and cause little damage if any at all and are probably nothing more than a mere dust whirl on the ground. Most people won’t see them though since California is a big state so they’d be far and wide between and happen in rural areas
Yah these dark clouds are disturbing to me…I'm in San Diego…they are a bag of weirdness
Nam myoho rengekyo 🙏 pray 🌍 for peace, be safe
Being from here is and knowing a tornado hit is insane
It's crazy! 😥😯
Lovely.
Great compilation – thank you!
Thank you mr DC! You are literally the (your) "Daily Dose of Internet" of tornadoes. Even rarer than a Southern CA tornado, somebody actually recorded in landscape . My jaw dropped..! :O
If climate change gets worse due to global warming, there will be more powerful tornadoes.
지구온난화로 기후변화가 더 심해지면 더 강력한 토네이도가 발생할 것입니다.
I’m sorry, I know these people aren’t used to this kinda weather, but seriously…I grew up in Joplin, Mo. where the F 5 hit in 2011. We see this and we be like, “yeah, okay, let’s go to Sonic and get a cherry limeade.”
Thank you so very much. .!!
I Saw That 😱😱😱
God sure is mad at California. Flooding, landslides, earthquakes, tornadoes,,,,
Special kind of Stupid, California.
You might want to clean the climate change deniers out of your comments.
I bet no one had tornado coverage😂
Still find it hard to believe that this happened an hour away from me.
06:21 is a perfect LA Mexican accent
