Strange weather we’re having in the Bay today; even a rare tornado warning down in San Mateo.
We didn’t get a warning here, but we had our own little tornado moment this morning around 9:24am. Youtuber Neorick shot this video of a funnel cloud touching down at Ocean Beach. “I was looking outside my window. There was a very dark cloud and there it was.” Wild!
Thanks to RichmondSFBlog reader Robin for sending it in. Here’s a couple of pics taken by another reader, Carl.

Crap on a cracker!!
ahoy matey, it be a waterspout when its on the ocean like that! Tornado be a landlubber’s term!
..and funnel clouds are “tornadoes” that haven’t touched down. Not to geek out on this too much. 😉
Aye Robin tis a keen mind you have. The SS geekout sails these waters now and then but makes port calls to the blog when rain prevents better sailing!
So now we are in Kansas?
arrrrrr…Cool video!…thanks for sharing.
I thought that cloud looked mean this morning! Too bad I didn’t see the spout, though.
WOW, it looks a lot more serious from up there than from my O.B. apartment. I took some pics http://carlspanoghe.com/content/20110318/i-think-i-saw-tornado-over-san-francisco
@Carl – Cool! I added a link to your photos in the article. Yeah, that video is pretty trippy!

I was driving home from an SFO drop off, headed west on Lake Merced BLVD this morning, and thought I saw this forming. shook it off as nonsense until I saw this.
