what's your local weather?

Today in L.A., it's been bright and sunny one minute and pissing down rain the next. It's as if the weather can't make up its mind.
 
Here in the Upstate region of South Carolina it's rainy, cold and gloomy. The type of day that makes all those aches and pains of age really prominent.
 
It rained most of the morning, but it eventually stopped and now it's been sunny and warm.
 
It rained a tiny, tiny bit again this when we got up this morning, but by the time I went out for my bike ride, everything was bone dry. The amount of rain we've been getting this year has been insane for us, I never thought I would see the day where I'd actually be tire of rain. Every time things are finally drying out completely it rains again, there's a path across from the riding club that has two big dips that fill with water, and there's been water in there for weeks now. There's also a wash I go past, that has been flowing like crazy the last few day, I have never seen it so full.

The video of Adam Lucio seems to show a car's headlights orbiting inside the funnel itself---l hope it was a parked car with the alarm set off and no one in it.

Even Los Angeles hit by tornado earlier in the week:

A quote on the California Event from STORMTRACK:

"This was a truly unusual event and nearly impossible to forecast. There was little kinematics, 30 kts (or less) of bulk shear, veered flow, and CAPE around 100. But in this area, sometimes that's all you need with terrain and / or boundaries. Even more interesting was the "mini" supercell itself. The storm was basically 12,000 feet high (I usually skydive higher than that)! Low topped storms are typically 30,000 feet or so high. All the dynamics in this setup, albeit subtle, were confined to the lowest KM or so of atmosphere."
