Rick Canepa, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Monterey County, cited the two low-pressure centers “and possibly a third one that are just kind of rotating around each other.” “The name comes from the 3D visualizations of this feature,” he said, “which look a little bit like a scorpion’s tail descending from the sky.”
“The storm is really raking Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties in particular,” he added as he reviewed radar images. “I have never seen anything quite like it.”Conditions were not as bad in Southern California, which saw steady rain Tuesday, with more set for Wednesday.
