We had a tornado here at the beach yesterday which never happened in the 28 years I've lived here. Do you think its climate change?

Only if it keeps happening.

Could be. "Climate change" is a vague enough term that it could be deemed the culprit in a wide variety of meteorological anomalies. We had a horrible drought in California between 2012-2015 and it was attributed to climate change. Now this year we received more rain than in previous years combined, far above pre-drought "normal". So I don't know what to make of it. The patterns often aren't regular enough, the time depth too shallow to chart real climate change. 

Which beach? East or west coast...or the Gulf.

Tybee Island. Southeast Coast, near Savannah Georgia.

Individual events don't demonstrate anything other than chance weather variation. You need to study the climate over many decades to see genuine trends; and it such studies that are used in climate science.
