NWS: EF-0 tornado touched down, caused storm damage in Galt

No injuries or deaths were reported to the National Weather Service.

GALT, Calif. — The National Weather Service said Tuesday afternoon that storm damage in Galt was caused by a tornado.

In a tweet around 3 p.m. Tuesday, NWS Sacramento said it received reports of damage associated with a line of storms that happened around 1:40 p.m. north of Galt near the Highway 99 corridor.

NWS Sacramento says it received pictures of a funnel cloud, so they sent officials out to determine if the storm was caused by a tornado.

They found an EF-0 tornado touched down around four miles north of Galt. The estimated peak winds were around 70 mph, and the path length was around 0.8 miles. No injuries or deaths were reported.
