 Brief Description: A Tornado touched down in the Chevy Chase residential area of Sunnyvale, CA near Hwy 85. The storm survey assessed the Damage to 15 home and a large chucrch as a mininimal F2.. One woman was injured when struck by flying debris. The storm was well documented on a video shot by a person from their backyard. The storm appears to be rotating anticyclonically from this video. This storm apparently developed from thunderstorms that developed in the lee of the Santa Cruz mountains over the W Santa Clara Valley.
