We had an F2 on the ground for 40 miles, on a S-N track in 2008.
It was amazing how it took the forest like a vacuum cleaner.
Passed 1/2 mile from my house.
That was the White City tornado in Worcester, June 9, 1953. I remember as a kid, the family driving out there to gawk at the damage. It was an F4.

CT’s gotten a few. Here’s a sampling:
July 29, 1971: An F3 (some sources say F2) moved along Main Street in downtown Waterbury, unroofing a factory and damaging some houses. Two people were injured.[56][43]
* July 10, 1989: The Northeastern United States tornado outbreak of 1989 produced at least three tornadoes in Litchfield and New Haven Counties, causing more than $100 million in damage. The first tornado, possibly a family of three tornadoes, destroyed Cathedral Pines Forest, and caused F2 damage to trees and homes in Cornwall, Milton, and Bantam, injuring four people.[60] The second tornado, also an F2, unroofed or severely damaged 50 homes and injured 70 people on a path through Watertown, Oakville, and northern Waterbury. The final tornado was one of the worst in Connecticut history, cutting a 5-mile (8 km) path through Hamden. The F4 destroyed almost 400 structures and injured 40 people. No one was killed by these devastating tornadoes, though a girl was killed when straight-line winds blew a tree onto her tent.
* June 29, 1990: An F0 briefly touched down in Danbury. Seven people were injured by flying glass.[11]
