Last week we had a little tornado action here on the Moreno Valley/Riverside borderlands near March ARB. Riversider blogger Evil Merchant sent in these pics that he stole off the interweb (why he hasn’t uploaded them himself is unknown, I guess he has a job or something). A few trains were knocked over and a big rig on the 215 was “thrown in the air 40-50 feet”. That’s pretty cool, but we hope everyone was okay.
Apparently the open “plains” south east of Riverside (Mo Valley, Sun City, Perris) is our own “tornado alley”. Colder moist air comes through passes of the Santa Ana mountains and mixes with the warmer climate coming in off the desert. If conditions are right, we get a tornado. I know there’s a joke here- don’t tornadoes always hit trailer parks? Anyone been to Mead Valley? Schnap! Do people still say schnap?? I will shut up now...
