Wish I was old enough to remember that one :lol:

A total of 10 tornadoes in CT/MA alone...7 in MA and 3 in CT.

Yeah Wiz...I remember the storm that went through North-Central Worcester Co. back on that day. I mean, tornadoes were reported from this storm...albeit weak and very short lived, but I remember the storm structure looking from the South into the storm. Very impressive!!!! Me, I would prefer a nice derecho to come through. It's been a while since we've had a decent one.

I would love for a derecho to rip through! Something like 7/15/95!

You should post the radar loop from 4/19/02...intersting event with supercell merger that basically ended up destroying northeast NJ and NYC on a rare 90 degree april day.

my parents at the time lived in West Boylston and I believe one of the tornadoes tracked within a mile of their condo ..

Forky, I dont remember the severe wx but I remember the summer like weather. Wasnt that the last day of the big April heat wave? I think we tied the record from April 1976 the day before when we hit 96! We had a big heatwave that April too, and almost on the same days.

Just last summer, on July 21, 2010, we had a nasty thunderstorm come right overhead. I wasn't home for it but my wife was. She said it was terrible to sit and watch from the inside of the house (better than being out in it, I reckon!). There was a lot of hail--pushing an inch in size, blowing like hell from the WNW and we had some significant straight-line wind damage to our woodlot. We lost over an acre's worth of trees here.

This line did a bunch of damage to some woodlots to our west in Chelsea, VT, it ripped down through our valley leaving quite a swath of blown down trees and caused a dairy barn to collapse in Bradford, VT to our east. BTV investigated the site in Chelsea and estimated 80-100mph winds....

I got home several hours later and the yard was still covered with hail.

Radar grab--circled cell is the culprit. At this point, the cell is just to our west:

Few shots of the damage our woods suffered:

The old outhouse in the woods took a hit. ;)

Most of the trees we lost were tip-ups as the ground was very soggy (2.5" of rain with this cell) but we had a few actual snaps:

Luckily the wife, animals and house all took the hit with no injury or damage--though the hail utterly shredded the vegetable garden. It came back but it took about a month for the plants to look somewhat normal again.

A logger-friend of ours has been chipping away at the salvage work out in the woods. He's building a house this summer and plans to use much of the pine & spruce that we lost in the construction of his new place. Something about lemons and lemonade. :lightning:

I was working at the old Norton Company in North Worcester...basically the spot where the 53' tornado came through. I had just enough time to beeline it out of there before it came through. If that same thing happened today...I would certainly drive into it...cautiously, of course. :arrowhead:

yes. the big dewpoint depressions allowed the 65 kt gusts to happen
