Speaking of the Hamden tornado, my godparents' house was right at the edge of the worst damage. I remember there was an oak tree near them that had a slate shingle buried like a hatchet a good four or five inches into the trunk. Was a curiosity in the neighborhood for years afterwards. We had a couple trees down in my yard and a couple broken windows from hail, though we were a good mile+ away. I also remember chunks of the roof of the Albertus Magnus College gym were deposited on East Rock and were hanging in the trees for a long time after.
