The storm pattern created severe thunderstorm winds of up to 82 miles per hour in Ventura County and 75 mph in Los Angeles County, the news source stated. The possible tornado follows two consecutive atmospheric rivers which have caused flooding and mudslides in Southern California as well.

We are unsure as to how this storm affected produce growers in the region, but will keep you informed as we learn more.
