A potent upper-level system moved through Northern California Wednesday evening, producing thunderstorms with hail and at least two confirmed tornadoes.
A storm survey found EF1 damage near Willows, Calif. along a roughly one-quarter mile long path, with damage to outbuildings and almond orchards.
An EF0 tornado was confirmed near Roseville in Placer County. The tornado was just 10 to 20 yards wide and was on the ground for 200 to 300 yards. Some minor damage was reported.

Another tornado was reported at around 5:44 p.m. east of Interstate 5 near Chico, Calif. Significant amounts of hail were also reported.
According to weather.com meteorologist Nick Wiltgen, the disturbance that produced the tornadoes in California is the same one that will help to trigger severe weather for parts of the Plains and South through Saturday.
Below is a round-up of the latest reports on the storm from social media.
