BOYLE HEIGHTS, LOS ANGELES () — A team from the National Weather Service is headed to Boyle Heights to see if a tornado possibly touched down early in the morning on Christmas Day.
Videos shared with Eyewitness News show the strong winds in the area during the storm. Tornado Warnings were issued in the area.
“NWS Los Angeles/Oxnard will be sending reps to conduct a storm survey this afternoon in Boyle Heights to investigate damage associated with a possible weak tornado that occurred yesterday morning,” the NWS wrote in a post on social media.
No injuries were reported.
Eyewitness News spoke to neighbors who watched as a roof in the neighborhood was blown off.
From mud to flooded streets, a Christmas week storm caused hundreds of traffic accidents and severe damage, even ripping off the roof of a home.
“It blew like, if it was a tornado coming through our neighborhood,” neighbor Carlos said.
Video captured the dramatic moments when a roof blew off a home, sending debris spiraling through the air.
It was an unwelcome surprise on Christmas morning.
“We were inside the house, and we were just watching movies, and we hear this big gust of wind, like hitting our window. And then all of a sudden, we look outside, and the roof of the neighbor’s is just flying all over the place,” Mauricio Mendez said.
