1940plymouth Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) The Weather Channel said tornados around the Springfield, Mass area, you guys ok? Edited June 2, 2011 by '40Plymouth Quote
Mark D Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Storms where very bad around 5pm tonight. I work in Framingham Mass along the 90 east /west corridor. Local news was telling everyone to find immediate cover as two tornados had touched down in Springfield and Ware Mass. Was already committed to the highway so I stuck it out and got home in time to see some wicked videos on our local news station. Luckily I live north of the office and not west. Got a call from friends in Uxbridge Mass... they where telling me that mail from Springfield was raining down on their house and was all over town... Take a look at this video of a tornado touching forming in the connecticut river in Springfield this afternoon, truly the hand of god... http://youtu.be/W5plBdPBNj8 Quote
hkestes41 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Pray that you all are OK. Having grown up in the Joplin area and now living in the Dallas area I have gotten very complacent when the sirens go off. After having been to Joplin over the weekend I will not be ignoring them ever again. Quote
Mark D Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Doesn't a day go by since the destruction in Joplin that I haven't given those folks a thought or two. By the way, thanks all for thinking of us. Quote
John Reddie Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Yes, thank you for your concern. I am located south of Boston so we had no tornadoes but severe thunder and lightning. When I see what some folks have gone through recently, I am stunned. John R Quote
moose Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Everybody's OK here, too. Thanks I haven't seen a storm like that since I moved away from Missouri. I sat out on the front step and watched it come in(my wife thought I was crazy--must be a midwest thing) Lightning all over the sky, dark clouds moving fast, later the heavy rain and a bit of hail. We were lucky that the kids were already asleep when the noise started around 8pm. By 9:30 it was gone. Makes this morning look all the more beautiful! Quote

Joe Flanagan Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I went to high school in Kingston. Made lots of visits to Plymouth. Quote
John Reddie Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Moose, you will like it on the South Shore. I have lived here all of my life and we moved to Cohasset in 1944 when I was 2. John R Quote
