powderfreak Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 That probably did it. I knew there was a reason to keep a sprinkler going 24/7. This is the worst possible thing to happen. Now we have to hear all the high dew nonsense. lol...high dews and Blizz sees a tornado after jackpotting all winter long in snowstorms. He should have no weather complaints for a while.

powderfreak Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 A tornado touched down about1/4 mile from me on MTN spring rd with that cell earlier. I saw it from my driveway. I could see it. There was all kinds of debris in the air. There is major tree damage at least over there. I will get over there when this storm ends Smart phones have sweet cameras that also take video too.

Typhoon Tip Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 18 z operational GFS has over 3 consecutive days of heights exceeding 594dm next week. 850s 19C.... Kevin gets his wish. 94/73 unrelenting. And with heights so high and the ridge near-by, no thunder to cap temps. Just an inferno, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Those extra higher dews over the vegetated countryside probably contributed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 That looks pretty legit... Wow, what a great tornado picture. Its not one of those pictures where you have to wonder, is it or is it not. No way that is scud or some other feature. Looks legit to me! You should get that to the news stations in SNE, they love good weather pictures!

Mother Nature will give it to us this summer it seems. Might as well not fight it and just take it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvna Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 What gets me, is Kevin is on here all day and when it comes time to post pics or video he vanishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 He is probably out gathering pictures...relax. He's sent me and posted damage pics before. I don't see the need to not believe him...multiple reports have been received, there is picture proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ill post some damage pics . Gotta get some dinner. It appears to me that it was a treetop TOR that maybe never hit the ground officially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the moors in england Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 hopefully a tornado destroys Kevin's house in July with no injuries. I want this to verify so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Wow, what a great tornado picture. Its not one of those pictures where you have to wonder, is it or is it not. No way that is scud or some other feature. Looks legit to me! You should get that to the news stations in SNE, they love good weather pictures! It's definitely solid with a good rfd slot.. tho as with most EC photos you have no real idea what's going on the last hundreds/thousands of feet to the ground. wfsb has some good footage online.

ct_yankee Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Ill post some damage pics . Gotta get some dinner. It appears to me that it was a treetop TOR that maybe never hit the ground officially Pretty clear from other video that it definitely was on the ground. Very sweet looking tornado for CT, actually, if those other vids are legit, and I see no reason to doubt. Very cool, wish I could've seen it.

CoastalWx Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 That was such a rinky dink cell too. It had a little appendage at the last second though. It looked legit as it developed again SW of Union. Pretty cool. Congrats Kev, now lets end the dew misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks so much. Closest I've come was well probably last week when we had those few tornadoes in the Windsor area...or perhaps Wethersfield a few years back may have been closer actually.

Damage In Tolland Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I've been legit waiting my whole life to see a TOR. And to actually have it happen 1/4 mile from my house is just unreal. I was watching it on radar and it tightened up right overhead. It got super black outside but wasn't raining at the time. The sky to the SW was bright and almost sunny. I still can't believe it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I think posted TOR omg or something . I was so amped up I don't even remember. Did people believe me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I just returned from a trip to South Coventry where the tornado touched down in the vicinity of South Street and Bunker Hill Road. It looks to have been an EF0 with a path about 25' wide or so. A barn got demolished on South Street and a 50' spruce is about 90% uprooted on Bunker hill Road. Tree damage has that classic tornado signature of being snapped about 10' up from their bases. Half of town is out viewing the damage as well as the news trucks from NBC and channel 33. My pc died on me earlier this week, so I am on my laptop which does not have my camera software on it. I'll upload pics later this week, when I get my pc repaired.

Damage In Tolland Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 And then channel 30 called me and asked if I would do a live on air interview and transfer me right into the newsroom. I need to get a copy of that. Think Ryan left for vaca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a ride over to Union & Woodstock to see if the earlier warned cell had verified but didn't see anything, at least where I went and took several roads that it would have passed.

It must not have been otg more than a few minutes. Does anyone have a radar grab from about 4:20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
