Contractors have been working to fix a home that partially collapsed due to the strong winds.

There were no warnings or watches issued by the National Weather Service before the tornado.

“It didn’t look all that exciting on radar. We unfortunately had an environment that wasn’t all that conducive to producing tornadoes,” Logan Clark, meteorologist with the NWS, said.

Clark explained why the tornado was hard to determine.

“Several storms had some mid-level rotation that was present. Unfortunately, this was one that we just ended up having that rotation now reach down to the surface,” Clark said.

The NWS also confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down around 9:35 p.m. in Northridge with peak wind speeds of 100mph.
