SAN LORENZO, CALIFORNIA – Residents of San Lorenzo are reeling after a bizarre and unprecedented weather event swept through the city earlier this afternoon, leaving a trail of vibrant, almost hallucinogenic damage. Initial reports confirm the storm, described by witnesses as “a swirling rainbow of chaos,” was directly linked to the arrival of the Three Diablos – a trio of ancient, malevolent spirits long thought to be relegated to legend.

The storm, which began abruptly around 2:15 PM PST, manifested as a rapidly expanding vortex of intensely colored rain, hail, and wind. Witnesses described the precipitation as shifting through an impossible spectrum of hues, from electric blue to pulsating magenta, with reports of shimmering, iridescent particles falling throughout the city. Buildings sustained significant damage, primarily from the sheer force of the wind and the impact of the strange, colored hail. Power outages are widespread, and emergency services are overwhelmed with calls.

“It was… unsettling, to say the least,” stated Sergeant Miguel Alvarez, a San Lorenzo Police Department officer who was on patrol at the time of the storm’s arrival. “One minute we were dealing with a minor traffic incident, the next the sky just… exploded with color. We tried to radio for backup, but the signal was completely jammed. It was like something out of a nightmare.”

The Three Diablos – previously believed to be dormant – were reportedly drawn to San Lorenzo by a series of ancient, forgotten rituals performed within the city’s historic district. Experts believe these rituals, involving a rediscovered map detailing the spirits’ prison, inadvertently weakened the barrier protecting them from the mortal realm.

“We’ve been warning about this for decades,” explained Professor Silas Blackwood, a historian specializing in folklore and mythology, speaking via satellite phone. “The map… it wasn’t meant to be found. It’s a dangerous piece of history. Now, we’re facing the consequences.”

The immediate aftermath has seen the Diablos – identified as Vex, Cruel, and Malice – manifesting in the city, wreaking havoc and demanding tribute. Authorities are urging residents to remain indoors and avoid contact with the spirits.

“This isn’t a time for heroics,” warned Mayor Patricia Hernandez in a televised address. “We need to focus on safety and recovery. We’re working with the National Guard and the… *specialists*… to contain this situation.”

The situation in San Lorenzo remains volatile, and the long-term implications of the Three Diablos’ return are currently unknown. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
