Guvna Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Wish I was old enough to remember that one A total of 10 tornadoes in CT/MA alone...7 in MA and 3 in CT. Yeah Wiz...I remember the storm that went through North-Central Worcester Co. back on that day. I mean, tornadoes were reported from this storm...albeit weak and very short lived, but I remember the storm structure looking from the South into the storm. Very impressive!!!! Me, I would prefer a nice derecho to come through. It's been a while since we've had a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the day, one plowed through upstate NY. Yeah...why did that happen like that? I've never really looked much into that. NNE got crushed then just south of here.

Collinsville Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Here's a radar I found on my drive. Forgot about this storm from June 2002. It was producing a tornado in Dutchess Co. at this time and there was another in New Milford, CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 AWESOME!!! I remember that day...I was in 8th grade...some forecasts were mentioning the potential for tornadic activity. I remember reading a newspaper...might have been the New York Times or the Hartford Courant but the weather section mentioned isolated tornadoes possible.

Wasnt that the last day of the big April heat wave? I think we tied the record from April 1976 the day before when we hit 96! We had a big heatwave that April too, and almost on the same days.

Allenson Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Just last summer, on July 21, 2010, we had a nasty thunderstorm come right overhead. I wasn't home for it but my wife was. She said it was terrible to sit and watch from the inside of the house (better than being out in it, I reckon!). There was a lot of hail--pushing an inch in size, blowing like hell from the WNW and we had some significant straight-line wind damage to our woodlot. We lost over an acre's worth of trees here. This line did a bunch of damage to some woodlots to our west in Chelsea, VT, it ripped down through our valley leaving quite a swath of blown down trees and caused a dairy barn to collapse in Bradford, VT to our east. BTV investigated the site in Chelsea and estimated 80-100mph winds.... I got home several hours later and the yard was still covered with hail. Radar grab--circled cell is the culprit. At this point, the cell is just to our west: Few shots of the damage our woods suffered: The old outhouse in the woods took a hit. Most of the trees we lost were tip-ups as the ground was very soggy (2.5" of rain with this cell) but we had a few actual snaps: Luckily the wife, animals and house all took the hit with no injury or damage--though the hail utterly shredded the vegetable garden. It came back but it took about a month for the plants to look somewhat normal again. A logger-friend of ours has been chipping away at the salvage work out in the woods. He's building a house this summer and plans to use much of the pine & spruce that we lost in the construction of his new place. Something about lemons and lemonade.

Guvna Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 my parents at the time lived in West Boylston and I believe one of the tornadoes tracked within a mile of their condo .. I was working at the old Norton Company in North Worcester...basically the spot where the 53' tornado came through. I had just enough time to beeline it out of there before it came through. If that same thing happened today...I would certainly drive into it...cautiously, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 NNE had a pretty good season last year, especially up in ME...ME isn't a bad location for severe wx in the Northeast actually...it's just like 400 people live there but they can get some wicked looking supercells.

JJBASHB Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Convective showers with some embedded thunderstorms developing rapidly into southern New England I thought I was seeing things on my ride home.
