[californiadisasters] O/T: Oregon Tornadic Supercell Today

Today Oregon experienced a rare tornadic superscell (a supercell is a thunderstorm wherein the entire storm is rotating) which generated a damaging tornado and large hail.

The relevance of this to California? On occasion we get supercells as well, mostly found in the Central Valley, some of which are tornado-genic.
