"Unprecedented: Understanding the Rare Occurrence of Dual Tornadoes in SLO County"

After over 20 years without a tornado in San Luis Obispo County, two tornadoes hit the Central Coast in one day. National Weather Service officials explained that the rare occurrence was due to a mix of dry and moist air creating rotation in the atmosphere, leading to strong showers and updrafts. Meteorologists emphasized the rarity of tornadoes in the region and advised people to stay away from windows during tornado warnings. The NWS is still studying the tornadoes and will release more information soon.
