Homes, trees and fences were reported damaged by a tornado Saturday morning in the Rainbow Canyon area of Temecula.

The tornado struck around 9:45am. It previously had been in the Fallbrook area, according to the National Weather Service, and apparently came into the Temecula Valley through the Rainbow gap.
