Our flagpole in front bent right in half. He says he counts a dozen trees down just by our house within 50 feet. Utility poles are in half.

TalcottWx Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 He's having trouble with cell service. I asked him if trees fell in multiple directions. Sounded like he described straight line.

TalcottWx Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I'm not convinced it was a tornado all the way through. It definitely touched down. Wouldn't doubt a lot of straight line damage too being perhaps majority of damage. Looks like tornado damage is limited to EF0 or EF1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Looking at the outages, most of this damage is probably straight line wind. 60%+ of Dennis, Harwich, Chatham is out but also fair amount in places like Orleans which was probably north or any potential touchdown.
