Hey edgecrusher

[imschur]

are you safe and sound? These tornado' s near you?

[edgecrusher]

Thanks, i'm ok, but my town is hurtin. I saw the roof of one of the elementry schools in the air. Momma was on her way home and it shifted her grand chrekoee two lanes over and blew over a semi. Its pretty bad. To credit the news agencies, they were giving street by street warnings before we lost power at 4 pm. There are still storms swirling overhead, using my cell now, no power or phonesyet @ 9pm

I have another friend in the thick of it. He said it was odd, pouring buckets, no wind and debris raining from the sky.

The video of the tornado crossing the CT river was wild

Glad your ok.

food for thought: The National Weather Service has determined there were actually three separate tornadoes. The most severe one was the EF-3 that carved a half-mile-wide path for 39 miles from Westfield to Charlton, killing four people and injuring 200.  http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/06/national_weather_service_confi.html

i have lived here my whole life (33years) and have never seen this kind of storm, even our hurricanes are more timid.
