...NWS Damage Survey for 02/13/25 Tornado Event...

.Overview...A high-end EF0 tornado impacted southeast Oxnard, 
California on February 13, 2025. This tornado was associated with
a low-topped, mini-supercell that was embedded within a 
developing squall line producing little or no lightning. The 
supercell tracked across southeast Oxnard Thursday afternoon and 
briefly produced a small, weak tornado that damaged mobile homes 
in two mobile home parks. The squall line later congealed as it 
tracked into and across Los Angeles County, where it produced 
damaging winds. This activity was associated with a strong storm 
system that also produced destructive debris flows, mud slides, 
rock slides, and flooding across the greater Los Angeles area.

Survey Summary:

A storm damage assessment team from the National Weather Service 
in Los Angeles/Oxnard, California conducted a damage survey in 
southeast Oxnard this morning from around 9 AM to Noon. The team 
examined storm damage across 2 mobile home parks (County Club 
Mobile Estates and Ocean-Aire Mobile Home Estates) and nearby 
areas. 

Visible damage could be seen across around a dozen double-wide 
mobile homes. Damage included loss of shingles and roof 
coverings, many destroyed metal porch roofs and carports, toppled 
fences, and two shattered windows. Debris was widespread across a 
significant portion of the community. Several large branches broke
off of nearby trees across Highway 1 adjacent to the mobile 
home parks.

Based on the pattern of damage assessed, eyewitness accounts, as 
well as video recordings, the National Weather Service in Los 
Angeles/Oxnard has confirmed that the damage was from a high-end 
EF-0 tornado. The tornado formed just south of Oxnard College 
around East Bard Road and moved northeast before dissipating 
between South Oxnard Boulevard and East Channel Islands Boulevard.

The National Weather Service in Los Angeles/Oxnard would like to 
extend great appreciation to our Emergency Management and Fire 
Agency partners with whom we collaborated in performing this 
tornado damage assessment.
