The Bay Area was soaked by a powerful storm system overnight into Saturday morning, causing flooding and even triggering what is reported to be the first-ever tornado warning in San Francisco, officials said.

A Level 3 storm has spawned a rare Tornado Warning in San Francisco and left behind a path of destruction across the Bay Area.

The Bay Area is bracing to receive another heavy dose of rain accompanied by gusty and damaging winds that began Friday evening.
