WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
July 2023Thunderstorm WindIrvine-CWOP mesonet station EW6313 south of Douglas reported maximum wind gust.
July 2018Tornado (EF1)Irvine-The second tornado formed as the first tornado was lifting to the west, touching down near the West Fork of La Bonte Creek and Esterbrook Road. The tornado quickly strengthened to EF1 intensity as it moved along La Bonte Creek passing near a ranch house off Esterbrook Road. Most of the damage was to trees that were snapped mid trunk in a 150 yard path. The tornado lifted as it moved east of La Bonte Creek. The NWS survey team lost track of the tornado as it moved southeast into open country, so it is possible that track extended farther than the survey results indicated. The survey team also continued to investigate reports of damage at Esterbrook Campground to the southeast, to see if this damage was associated with the same tornado. Start and end times and locations and times of the tornado were estimated from eyewitness accounts and radar data.
