Moreno Valley Storms

Post by brandon »

I was getting onto the 215 from the 60, KFI 640 said something about a tornado and I joked "Hmm maybe theres one in Perris"... no sooner I turn my head and THERE IT IS --- a funnel from cloud all the way to the ground. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!

The tornado crossed the 215 fwy, causing a big rig to overturn and train to derail. Unfortunately my camera and radios were at home, so I had to snap with the cell phone.

Pictures (please excuse quality these are with older cell phone)

Overturned big rig (hard to see in picture but it was blocking all lanes and caused N/B 215 to be shut down)
