episode_narrativeA strong ridge of high pressure aloft lingered over California and the Desert Southwest the first 3 days of the month, keeping the central and southern San Joaquin Valley under triple-digit heat. A monsoonal flow triggered thunderstorms over the mountains and the Kern county deserts, and one thunderstorm near Rosamond on September 1st spawned a tornado that moved through the town; a National Weather Service storm survey rated the tornado at EF0 on the new Enhanced Fujita scale. As the thunderstorm collapsed, it generated high winds that knocked down several power poles and created areas of blowing dust. Other thunderstorms in the same complex dropped ��-inch hail on the town of Boron in the southeastern corner of Kern county, generated a wind gust measured at 83 mph at the Mojave Air and Spaceport, and caused flash flooding in the vicinity of Mojave and California City.
event_narrativePublic reports of a funnel cloud were relayed through the Sheriff's Office between Rosamond and Lancaster. This is the storm that produced an EF0 tornado in the Rosamond area shortly thereafter.
