Western storms battered Southern California with damaging winds and spread welcome rains and snow over drought-shackled portions of Northern California. Severe winds, described by police and residents as a tornado, ripped off roofs, smashed windows and lifted cars into the air during a rainstorm in Fullerton.

Three persons suffered minor injuries at the Hunt-Wesson Foods Corporate headquarters, where the winds also set off a minor fire. Southern California Edison officials said downed lines and transformers temporarily cut power to 10,000 customers. A fireman said the winds "picked up autos as high as 15 or 20 feet in the air." Residents said a swirling funnel moved diagonally across the town. Authorities said the "tornado-like winds" damaged some 20 homes. A National Weather Service spokesman described the storm only as "high winds," but several residents insisted they had actually seen a tornado.

The best rains of the winter fell on drought-dry Northern California and more than three feet of snow piled up in the High Sierra. About two inches of ran fell in the San Francisco Bay area and some other coastal areas of Northern California received heavier rainfalls. But the drought-parched central valley measured less. Some mountain areas were belted by up to 40 inches of snow. The rain and snow fell short of end- ing the Western drought and experts said that even if Northern California gets normal precipitation the rest of the season, 1977 will wind up as the driest year in the area's history.

But it was a long-awaited break in the West's dry weather pattern and the National Weather Service said another storm may arrive in California by Friday Scattered showers, accompanied by gusty winds, dotted the Southwest and snow fell at higher elevations. A winter storm warning was in effect for the higher elevations of Northern Arizona and a winter storm watch was posted for the mountains and high valleys of Colorado. Farmers in Franklin County, had another weather problem temperatures too high to make the sap run properly. Unless the mercury dips to freezing by the end of this week, they said, they may produce only 15 to of their normal annual output of maple syrup. Heavy snows were reported in the mountains of Colorado and Utah and some strong winds in the southern Rockies and southwestern Plains.

Snow fell in Northern Idaho. High wind warnings were posted for the Texas Panhandle and Northeast New" Mexico for gusts over 50 mph. A travelers advisory warned of blowing dust. Scattered showers developed from Iowa into Missouri and a few snow showers appeared over Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota and the upper Midwest where storm watches were posted.
