We’re not far to your (Weatherwhiz)east in Monson, and our yard’s a disaster zone— Maple down, crushed shed— half another maple down, crushed disc golf basket; huge branch down blocking driveway… and of course power out, probably for some time. By far the worst convective storm I’ve experienced here in Monson, and have lived here almost 35 years. Wouldn’t be surprised if the wind gusted close to hurricane force. (We missed the 2011 tornado by about two miles, and the only event more damaging was the October snowstorm of that same year.)

Whoa! You guys got rocked! That bow went right over Monson . How strong do you estimate gusts? Sounds like 65/70 type damage ?

I think that would be a safe bet. A lot more damage from this than from the strong tropical storm in August of a few years ago. And this all occurred in about five minutes.

Dang congrats but sorry about the shed.  That boundary interaction that OceanSt mentioned seemingly pulsed up intensity in your area.

I DID GET IT ON VIDEO!!!!! Uploading now. The entire video is like 15 minutes long but thankfully it happens within the first few minutes. Please excise some of the shakiness early on, I was relocating the camera and holding with one hand because my other hand was using phone for radar.
