Too bad I have to work today and leave for vaca tomorrow, otherwise I’d damage hunt around town and take pics. If you really cared about your on-line friends you would cancel your vacation and take pics for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few limbs down, but I am not sure when power will be restored so I might take a trip out there after work. My mom's cell phone battery was low last night, and I know they have their land line tied in with the digital cable so that means there is no landline working (since I am sure they did not purchase the 48 hour battery with it).

Modfan Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 There was a weird pocket of tree damage in the Woodstock/Putnam/Thompson Ct area, I assume straight line winds? The cells didn't seem too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 3 hours ago, CoastalWx said: There were two separate TDS signatures from that cell. Definitely a radar confirmed tornado...likely two per Ryan. Yeah my gut is one or two tornadoes there near Newtown, but the vast majority will be a big swath of RFD damage from eastern NY through Danbury. That had the look of a High Plains hail monster with 80 mph driven stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Sorta glad I stayed in NH. I got all work done and saw a stunning sunset on back-end of departing line of storms. Sounds like a helluva event in SW CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that where the '89 tornado took down the last old growth hemlocks in New England?

That was really something else. I did drive through Newtown last night b/c I know people who live there and 84 was a mess into Newtown so I did back roads to Newtown and got on exit 10 but yeah Newtown was a mess. Then I got destroyed in the Waterbury construction traffic. I'm driving down to Branford soon then heading to Newtown after that so I'll get to see some of the damage during the daylight hours.
