ORH_wxman Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That storm to the WNW of BOS definitely has some rotation, but its not tightened up a whole lot yet, but the velocity number increased the last few frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb65 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Could that cell WSW of MVY be forming a waterspout? Looks pretty threatening and impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstoned Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Just got back from downtown Monson-- steeple of First Church gone. Damage about a half mile wide with homes totally destroyed just to the east of the downtown in the Bethany Road area. Car on its side against a tree right next to our friend's home that suffered heavy damage, directly across from the library. Sharp slated debris imbedded in the side of the house-- a grim example of just one of the many ways these storms are so lethal. Town Hall roof badly damaged. A brick building part of the old Monson Acadamy badly damaged, suggesting F3 damage. Huge old trees down. Damage trail about a half mile wide from the First Church area to a bit south of Adams supermarket which apparently suffered a lot of merchandise thrown around. It took a dead bead on Downtown Monson, a beautiful old new England center-- in a flash it's transformed. I live on the northern side of town golf ball size hail, saw the funnel or the meso-cyclone pass by just to the south. Very fortunate to have missed this one...

amarshall Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I dojn't think ive ever lost power in a tstm here. several times here including a direct hit that nuked my electronics . Pioneer would not cover my receiver and subwoofer under warranty. Logan is firing planes out of there about 1 every 30 seconds. They're taking off real low too.

bch2014 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That storm to the WNW of BOS definitely has some rotation, but its not tightened up a whole lot yet, but the velocity number increased the last few frames. Probably 60-70 MPH gusts here in Concord, MA. Best Thunderstorm I can remember. Also we have Penny size hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drz1111 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 My girlfriend lives just north of the 90/128 interchange, and she just called to let me know that she was in, and I quote, "the worst storm I have ever seen, and its not even close".

Ginx snewx Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thankfully the marine layer has kept me safe, feel real bad for all my fellow SNERS who have lost loved ones and their homes, lots of unverified stuff coming in but just know it's pretty bad and especially bad for some of the less known media concentrated areas.
