Other damage included a fence that was knocked down, a basketball hoop that was blown over and broken tree limbs.
Some residents had reported seeing funnel clouds in the area, but there were no witnesses to a tornado.
No injuries were reported.
City of Goleta crews were in the area assessing damage and clearing debris from the roadway.
