(AP) — A storm cell that passed over Portland prompted two tornado warnings after trained storm spotters saw funnel clouds north and south of the Columbia River. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that forecasters said the Sunday evening storm that created the funnel clouds also brought heavy rain on top of the day's earlier rain showers. The rain prompted a flood advisory in Clark County. Local authorities said standing water covered some parts of Interstate 5 in southwest Washington. The National Weather Service confirmed the storm cell produced an EF-0 tornado that briefly touched down on a farm northwest of Portland in Multnomah County. Forecasters issued the first tornado warning for that area at 6:46 p.m. after a trained spotter saw a funnel cloud approaching the ground. Jim Kessinger told KPTV his Plumper Pumpkin Patch and Tree Farm on Old Cornelius Pass Road had a bit of damage as the storm damaged their solar panels, threw pumpkins around and knocked down corn in their corn maze, as well as a tent. No people or animals were injured. The second warning came at 8:06 p.m. after a funnel cloud was spotted near Orchards, north of Vancouver, Washington.
