Colusa County Storm Cell

Noel sends this. It looks like a wall of rain is marching east across the Sacramento Valley right now:
A storm cell was crossing I-5 in Colusa County at 9 a.m. Thursday, according to KCRA Live Triple Doppler.

The cell was moving eastward.

The Colusa County Sheriff's Department and the Colusa Police Department said it was rainy and windy, but that they had received no reports of damage.

The National Weather Service has confirmed it was a tornado that hit the Colusa County town of Williams Wednesday.

Meteorologists describe the twister that ripped roof tiles from homes as a "small tornado" with winds between 65 to 85 mph.

The NWS says a funnel cloud was also spotted near Sutter, about 27 miles east of Williams, but did not cause any damage.
