Any more info on this tornado?

At noon Wednesday, the National Weather Service confirmed that one tornado funnel reached the ground near Lincoln but apparently did no damage.

Went for a weenie drive/walk, here's the only real damage I saw on Bow Bog Rd. in Bow.  Tons of leaves and small branches everywhere, but this little area around the down tree had other damage nearby too.

I guess it was a pretty solid event for the Concord area.  Don't see this many damage reports often.

Mom said lots of branches down in S Hooksett.

I heard about down trees and lines in Bow near 3a and Robinson road.

"unconfirmed" Funnel report from Granby

Some gusts and lightning strikes as the line came through left a mess of leaves and small branches everywhere.  Didn't get close to severe criteria though, no hail, maybe a gust to 40.

Edit: Looks like they avoided severe weather, still pretty cool to watch the storm hit.  You can rewind the vid and watch the action.

I had always thought going down the slope would help stretch an updraft, but I think latest research is showing mesos tightening up as they move up the slope instead. 

Loon webcam is down now. 

All youtube live broke for me just as the storm went by.  Now of course it's back

Base area of Loon barely got rain and a breeze.  This was about as mean looking as it got as the area of rotation moved over the mtn.

Area of rotation looks to be heading right at Lincoln/Loon.

Fabulous job today, Ryan. Superb coverage. Thought I was watching KFOR

Agreed.  Ryan and the other guy did a great job with now-casting and analysis and communicating it all.

Storm just north of Danbury looking mean.  New warning up for it.

Watching nbc ct live coverage.. They have a remote at bdl.  CTrain breaking it down.

Should I hike up wachusett? Or will I miss the action if I summit around 4:30?

I wouldn't suggest being on top of a mountain with no shelter as a severe t-storm comes through, but that's just me.

Damn, 2.75" hail reported by trained spotter near Clermont NY

Tornado Warning on the storms now

Looks pretty nasty.

Must be some swirling winds coming off MTW today to make grlevel3 think there's a tvs there.  It has been appearing close to that spot on and off for a few hours.

Winds pretty intense for basically nothing on radar.  Not much rain but lots of pine needles and other little debris.

Wow.   Extreme rain and wind.  House shaking.  Lights flickering.  Davis just gusted to 54mph and that always is low. 

Edit.  Rain let up, winds died down.  Very intense 5 minutes.  One of the most intense winds I have ever seen.

Sounds intense, congrats.  Looks like things weren't able to hold together on the southern end of that line that's about to come through for me.

Holy sh*t this is nuts.

Looks like it's going right between the town and the resort.

MRMS had like a 0.022 shear value there near Jay. That's definitely in the range of tornadic.

Was just looking at that cell from the GYX radar.  I don't recall seeing too many storms looking so strong 120NM from radar site.

Should be a clear standard for this.  I'm a fan of the ruler in the snow at the end of the storm, but that is clearly not ideal for long duration or major snowstorms.

I feel like adding a disclaimer that my measurements are for entertainment purposes only.

Another 3" overnight.. I'm calling it 16" total.  Only cleared once (before the last 3")
