Ginx snewx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hi Steve! Not sure if it touched down, but when the camera went straight up, I thought it looked like a funnel in the white cloud angling downward. I also heard winds in their audio, which might have been RFD. Again, not sure what direction they were shooting toward. I think they caught the backside of it. I think they should get a look at this at the office, especially if HF is there. BTW, NICE photo from your work, too! --Turtle Thanks El, getting dark here now, just got severe warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianLaverty Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm in Cumberland.... Looks to be getting VERY dark. Wow... "This storm was located near Woodstock... or 8 miles northwest of Putnam... moving east at 30 mph. In addition... there are some signs of rotation near Burrillville Rhode Island. While its not imminent... there is a low risk of a tornado developing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
