What happened in RI this morning?

I can't seem to find a radar of what happened but the damage across the state is expensive but is very specific and areas. There is One story in a camping site were trees were all down in one spot but a paper plate right next to that area didn't even move. Insanity. But no idea.

 

Make sure you select "yesterday" as all times are in Z time.

Cell came up out of New London area, @ 06:00 came through central RI, Coventry area with recorded winds of 67 mph at our weather station. We had very little damage near the weather station.   The SW corner of town had several trees come down then it subsided for about 5 miles then hit the NE portion of town very hard.  We have one neighborhood that's very bad, hundreds of trees down or broke and many snapped off at 20-30 feet. 10 or so houses hit by trees and at one time over 40 pending calls for the power company for poles/trees down on wires, blown transformers or  burning downed wire.   We had over 10k with no power just in out town of 36k.

 

That hard hit area of town must have seen a micro burst or possible T, everything isn't all dropped the same way so hard to say it was straight line. winds had to be in the 80+ range seeing that damage to the rest of town.

With the tress snapped could be a T but you need twisting of the wood and trees falling diffrent directions

As far as I am concerned it was a small derecho. It started in New Jersey. Then just NE of me had serious tree damage. And remember here on the island these trees went through 80-90 mph winds with Sandy most in full leaf
