Not unheard of in Cali. About 15 years ago I was working on a job In Eldorado Hills CA when a tornado passed about 1/2 mile south of us.
These are not the monster storm of the Midwest, Just the convergence of the hot air from the valley floor and the cold air of the mountains and generally on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. They usually do minor damage. They tend to fizzle out as the go up the mountain.
I am pretty sure there were a couple tornados up near Marysville CA near the same time.
