Funnel Cloud - Downtown San Diego, CA - Recorded from 40 stories up!

I noticed clouds beginning to rotate so I grabbed my phone and started recording. I caught the entire weather event from start to finish. San Diego NEVER gets this type of weather.. 01/24/2021

So the day that happened, we happened to be near the ballpark in East Village and we're caught in a crazy downpour and hailstorm. We actually had to pull into the driveway of a building for shelter. It was not very windy from what I remember, but there was definitely extreme weather on the ground, very unusual. It was only later that day that I heard about the tornado right over our heads. I believe there is some video shot in Coronado that same day that appears to show it on the ground

Tornado is just trying to take a dump 😂

[@stormchsr101]

agreed, cold air funnel

[@geeteebloke1979]

Great footage

On further review by my self it appears this was an actual supercell and was not a fair weather water spout. Such a rareity for San Diego or southern California for that matter.

If that would have touched down it would've been a very big one and caused lots of damage.

[@jameshogan1871]

Very cool!

[@junokitty05]

Thank goodness it didn’t form, this is one of my worst fears.

I think you mean "Thank goodness it didn't touch down"

@@thenoobking3817 No, the funnel cloud did form. It just did not touch the ground.

Tornadoes in California would be a nightmare next to earthquakes and tsunamis.

Next time, you should try the “landscape” recording. Just set your phone sideways.
