Cyclone-68 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 This turned out to be at least a semi eventful day for a lot of folks and I think that’s great. I had absolutely zero expectations for my area today and it over delivered a bit..A nice start to May as someone posted earlier 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going back and forth with one of the skywarn guys and he's also gotten several other accounts from the area and said this also produced some damage in Ware. Unfortunately, due to the limited staffing there probably won't be any surveying and I'm not sure what exactly goes into the process to verify outside of a survey. But based on everything presented so far, this certainly could be classified as an EF0 tornado. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on everything presented so far, this certainly could be classified as an EF0 tornado. Based on the tree damage in the photo looks like straight line winds. I’m just going off the fact that there isn’t any twisting and the trees all broke fairly low down and fell the same direction. Usually with ef0 damage you will see branches and tops broken off higher up. I’m not discounting your personal knowledge experience and having been there by the way. Just one photo.

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Here is a bit of a closer look from the damage which was where I was at. This marked the end of the damage too. but I don’t believe the circulation crossed on that side of the street…it crossed right in the parking lot I was in or maybe on the sidewalk. I can see if I can do a street view on google maps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 I suck at drawing but I did this. First off, I am not sure why google maps has the BoA ATM where it shows it but its where that gray box is. The trees snapped/damaged in the pic were at the end of the row so I wonder if the circulation ended up going diagonally? But I drew it from where I first saw it...probably once it passed my peripheral it slanted in track. But it definitely came straight down Wilbraham Rd because when I drove about 1/4 mile up the road, I couldn't go anymore because it was closed and I could see something on fire about another 1/4 up the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put an arrow in the spot I was in which points in the direction I'm facing. The bottom view is looking over to my left. So where those trees snapped was JUST out of my view. And actually...in the second pic if you see where those cars are parked, I was contemplating parking in those spots...I would have backed in and not be facing the trees but the circulation could have directly passed over my car...I also would have seen it coming from a farther distance because I would have had me head facing that direction. I could have gotten out of the car and film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
