A preliminary report released Saturday night categorized the tornado as an EF1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;I have been a law enforcement officer in Santa Cruz County for almost 28 years, and this is the first I have experienced of a tornado touchdown in our area. It was shocking, obviously,&#8221; said Scotts Valley Police Captain Scott Garner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Garner said the damage was extensive. About six cars flipped. Debris was thrown around, which did significant damage to businesses and cars parked along the tornado&#8217;s path. PG<!-- -->&amp;E power lines and poles were torn down. A massive tree was ripped up from its roots and landed on part of the middle school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Garner said police and fire had to help evacuate people trapped by down power lines in parking lots. He said in all, five people were injured, but none with life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Their main concern (was) getting people out of there, making sure the power lines are safe, power is cut off, vehicles that are turned over aren&#8217;t spewing fuel,&#8221; Garner said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \"><strong class=\"vtkaO \">MORE: <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/post\/tornado-warning-issued-san-francisco-daly-city-broadmoor-lifted-nws-says\/15655310\/\">San Francisco issued first-ever Tornado Warning as atmospheric river moves through Bay Area<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">With the power out, cars made detours through blacked-out shopping lots. Restaurants like Burger King and Taco Bell were closed for business. But when the tornado hit, everyone rushed for safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;The first thing we were trying to do was get the customers inside, just in case it was something worse,&#8221; said Elizabet Bocanegra, who works at Taco Bell. &#8220;Then the doors started flapping open and closed, open and closed. So, we were grabbing them to close them. Then, we saw the tornado going down, and then it ended&#8211;in a blink of an eye.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The tornado came hours after the National Weather Service issued an unprecedented tornado warning earlier Saturday morning for San Francisco, but that was canceled after the rotational winds that caused the warning moved past the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Mount Herman Road, which is one of the main roads through Scotts Valley, suffered extensive damage as well. Authorities say it will remain closed all night so crews can continue clean up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Power had been restored to businesses by Sunday morning, and all roads within city limits had reopened, according to police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Of the five people injured, three were transported to medical facilities and one was admitted for continued treatment, Capt. Scott Garner said in a press release Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">&#8220;Thanks to these collective efforts, all roads and businesses in the City of Scotts Valley that were scheduled to be open today are now fully operational with power,&#8221; Garner said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">For any additional questions, Garner directed individuals to contact the Scotts Valley Police Department at (831) 440-5670 or <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scottsvalley.gov\/431\/Police-Department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">visit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \"><strong class=\"vtkaO \">Bay City News contributed to this report.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO fnRUo pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW RMeqy daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc MENS nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY rPLsU iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM IEgzD OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD VWDdR ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV GPGwb oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX \">\n<div>\n<div class=\"InlineImage GpQCA lZur asrEW \" data-testid=\"prism-inline-image\">\n<figure class=\"kzIjN GNmeK pYrtp dSqFO \" data-testid=\"prism-figure\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA hsDdd DbOXS oklLN GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7news.com\/abc-news-live-local-watch\/11513295\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Now Streaming 24\/7 Click Here\" class=\"hsDdd vBqtr KrDt itslR WAUrb hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.abcotvs.com\/dip\/images\/11518842_247-NOWSTREAMING_1280x720.png\"\/><\/a><figcaption\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024 KGO-TV.
