Huntington Beach, the town this property stands in, in 36 storm reports between 1997 and 2026: 8 rip current, 7 flood, 5 funnel cloud, 4 heavy rain.
The reports record 5 deaths and 17 injuries. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
A waterspout came within 100 yards of the Huntington Beach Pier before coming ashore near PCH and 14th Street. Multiple vehicles were damaged by downed trees and power poles along 14th Street. Spotters reported pea to dime size hail with this storm.
Thunderstorms in advance of a strong low pressure trough, spawned a tornado that briefly touched down off of Huntington Beach, and moved onshore, crossing Highway 1, into Huntington Harbor. The twister ripped at least 6 boats from their moorings, damaged trees, ripped a 40-foot metal light pole out of the ground, tossed a 150 pound iron bench into a spa, and ripped a 25 foot section of roof from a home. Damage to the roof alone was estimated at $15,000.
A series of thunderstorms dropped up to 1 inch depth accumulation of 0.5-in diameter hail on Huntington Beach. The hail covered the beach near Huntington Beach Pier and numerous roads within the city of Huntington Beach. The event received widespread attention from local and national media and extensive social media photos.
All lanes northbound and southbound at PCH from Seapoint Street to Warner Avenue are closed due to water over road. Area received 0.75 to 1 inch of rain over 6 hours.
Huntington Beach received 1.25 inches of rainfall in one hour between 2000 and 2100 PST on January 15th. Local officials closed the Pacific Coast Highway (route 1) at approximately 9pm January 15th and kept it closed through the afternoon hours of January 16th.
A Huntington Beach Lifeguard reported three funnel clouds approximately 4 miles offshore, sometime between 0800 and 0830 PST on the 14th. The funnel clouds dissipated without lowering to the water.
Heavy rain caused flooding of low lying areas and streets in the north and west portions of Orange County. The Pacific Coast Highway was closed for six and a half hours between Warner Avenue and Seapoint Avenue.
