allpine and the resident robert soto says it's a spectacle in his neighborhood. >> i heard a lot of loud noise and i looked out the window and see the hail coming down. and so then i stepped outside and say it's snowing on the ground. only chunks of ice size of bb's. so, then anyway-- >> and hail occurred and thunderstorms with strong updrafts down drafts and tiny ice particles get bigger with each cycle and eventually falling to the ground. high surf continues along the coast and the stormy weather is having an impact on the supply of fresh fish and crab and they have that part of our storm watch. >> in half moon bay. waves crashed against the break wall and boat owners at pillar point harbor prepared for the storm hours ago. and many doubled up on the lines to help tie down their phones. but the concern is this. >> that's a tornado touch down.

>> it was actually a water spout, just off ocean beach in san francisco. it was caught on video by a viewer and sent to you report, powered by youtube, but if the twister had happened over land, it would have been called a tornado and half moon bay instead, swells are expected to reach 12 feats. prompting a small craft advisory. many local fishing boats are not going out to sea and it's having an impact on phee food retailers, like the market. >> we're wondering if we have local halibut. we don't have any because of the weather. >> the fish market sold out of whole halibut and rock fish and crab supply is low. >> any idea how much of a loss for the weekend? >> probably 30%. >> in santa cruz the bad weather isn't just having an impact on the harbor closed for a full week since last week's tsunami, it's ham berg cleanup efforts. today, divers were forced to

suspend operations until further notice and the only one that seems to enjoy this weather were three surfers near half moon bay. >> and trying to see some big waves. >> the big waves kept coming in and high tides rolled in the at pacifica at 12:02 a.m. in pacifica, abc 7 news. >> just after that water spout at ocean beach the national weather service issued a tornado warning for nearby san mateo county around 11 a.m. yesterday. belmont police sent out tweets to let people know and moved students away from the windows. the warning expired at 11:30 in the morning with no twist are touching down. a tornado no one saw coming touched down yesterday morning in santa rosa. no one was hurt thankfully. abc 7 talked to the owner of a landscaping company that took a direct hit. the winds kicked up and i was looking outside and the trees were just blowing like crazy and i could hear all the debris on

my front porch, just blow over. i thought maybe there was a small explosion somewhere and it was just a lot of rumbling and to the right there was a big gust of wind went down, picked up the shed, moved it up in the air, and went over on the pacific street. the corrugated metal hawninging up in the telephone booth and there was corrugated metal in the trees over across the street. it just picked up the whole roof and the building and just tore it right out of the ground. we had cement pillars down in the ground and the winds sucked right out of it. so it's quite a bit of force. >> so the funnel cloud, twister came right through our shed. >> and our gate was open and i think the force of it just sent it right in half and brought it over it that side. >> that's it? >> and tactful as a matter of fact, look over there. i just saw nor piece of metal up in the tree. >> that is your roof. the part of your roof. your neighbor's yard on the tree? >> yeah. >> is that was vick lee

that's going to change. you can see from the live camera we have a few breaks out there and first take you to the mountains where we still have a winter storm warning in effect until eight o'clock. and a couple of inches left and things will taper off until we get another foot tomorrow. and wind gusts up to 100 miles an hour over the weekend. not a good idea to head there, and with the winter storm watch in effect right through monday evening, after the winter storm warning expires and back home, we're looking at a few areas of of partly cloudy skies here in san francisco, but not the case to the north or the south. where rain continues to fall on live doppler radar hd. shows a concentration of rain up towards santa rosa and down by salenas, in between, just a little bit after break out there. the colder air has moved in behind yesterday's system so around mount st. helena and lake county, a rain-snow mix right now. clover dale the light rain. further south, in fact, pretty

good downpours, pulling out of fairfield this morning and a little area of rain here around berkley, pushing out into orina and a little west and heavier showers, with a little bit of rain-snow mix through the santa cruz mountains and mount hamilton and hollister and you can see more areas of moisture off shore, so that will keep the showers going today and then they'll increase throughout the afternoon and the evening you hours, as well as the wind and the next storm system has sped up a little bit and we'll see it through the overnight hours, instead of holding back until tomorrow morning, and so getting started sooner with this big storm. 42 in concorde 47 in san francisco. it's 39 in redwood city and we saw the lightning strikes and the scattered showers and thunderstorms, and maybe a few left over this morning and the low snow levels the powerful storm hits overnight tonight. we're talking about high winds, up to 60 miles an hour for later

on this evening, into tomorrow with the potential for downed trees and power lines we are as saturated as we can get right now. with what's to come it's not going to take much for this very wet soil to give way. we're looking for troughs of moisture. lots of rain headed our way, through the overnight hours. so, here is a look at yesterday's system that's pushed on through and we've got wind and rain poised off shore just before midnight that's going to really slam into the coast. so by this afternoon two o'clock, we've got heavier rain pushing in all along the coast. pushing eastward throughout the late evening hours, you see the plans tonight heavy downpours gusty winds, look what happens to the overnight hours. we've got even heavier rains headed our way, but by about seven o'clock tomorrow morning, it's behind us and we'll see a brack throughout the day on sunday, and then by the monday

morning commute, we're looking at more rain. so we're talking about temperatures today so cool in the 50's, rainfall amounts through the evening or tomorrow evening, i should say, anywhere from three to six inches of rain and 56 in san jose to understand with the rain increasing throughout the afternoon and 57 in gilroy, so, after this powerful system, a little bit of a break, monday tuesday we're in the spring more heavy rain into the middle of the week. so it's going to be coming down pretty good. >> sounds like it, okay, thanks so much, lisa. and oakland wild life center facing eviction has found a new home and now volunteers are racing against the clock to get it ready. jn rust abc 7 viewers have come through with help for the center which cares for orphaned and injured animals and as they tell us in the report, they still need more help. >> the wild life center has been rescuing orphaned and injured animals the past ten years. >> he he opened his eyes.
