Had 0.92" yesterday afternoon, with about 0.6" in 45 minutes, 3:30-4:15.  Biggest precip day since March.  Light rain this morning, another 0.04", but after today it's dry, dry, dry.

FWIW the tornado occurred a mile from where my niece lives…Also kinda interesting tidbit …Salisbury St in Holden that suffered extensive damage was also heavily damaged June 1953 as well. Very close to where Assumption College was located at the time.

...NWS Damage Survey for 09/06/2025 Tornado Event Update #1...

NWS Boston meteorologists conducted a storm survey in central MA 
regarding the storm damage that occurred on Saturday, September 
6th, 2025. The survey team found evidence of brief EF-1 tornadoes 
in Paxton, Holden, Berlin, and Stow MA. There were 5 separate
tornado touchdowns across these areas which are listed in greater
detail below. Damage was primarily uprooted trees...soft and 
hardwood trees with sheared trunks. Some trees fell on or near 
houses and vehicles, but fortunately, there were no injuries or 
fatalities reported. Many eyewitnesses got the alerts on their 
cell phones and heeded the warnings issued. They also recalled the
freight train noises and felt the pressure changes in their safe 
spots when the tornadoes passed through. Special thanks to MEMA 
and these towns' respective police and fire departments for their 
assistance and resources used for this survey.

5 tornadoes from a single event is pretty damn impressive, even if perhaps a few were the result of lifting up then touching back down several miles later.
