Long Beach twister and storm lash the Southland on Mothers Day
A funnel cloud swept through 45 city blocks around Long Beach and nearby areas just after 11 am on Mothers Day, with NOAA officials confirming a tornado in parts of the path. Severe weather alerts lingered as funnel clouds were sighted offshore near Seal Beach and in the San Gabriel Valley. No injuries were reported, but damage was estimated at about $750,000 with mudslides briefly halting canyon traffic. Resort towns in the San Bernardino Mountains prepared for late openings amid 2 to 3 feet of snow on Big Bear Lake and 18 inches at Mammoth.

Senate weighs tax steps in Social Security reform plan
The Senate backs most of the President's Social Security reform proposals to shore up funds. The plan would raise $30 billion over five years, shift $14 billion from general tax reserves, and lower reserve requirements to 33 percent with a provision for shifting funds during high unemployment. It would also raise wage caps, move $7 billion from Hospital Insurance to other trust funds, and require self employed workers to contribute 75 percent of wages, aiming to cut the five year deficit projection from 2 percent to about 1.9 percent, a move administration officials call reasonable.
