I may have grown a bit addled, being sixty; however, I’ve lived here all my life and I don’t recall EVER seeing a twister...
I don’t think eastern MA has seen a tornado. I hear when a cell hits cool temps. it loses the energy it needs to twist.
I’ve seen wind sheer here, not many years ago, and that’s enough for me!
In case you aren’t watching, Tornado watches have been issued for all Eastern MA except Cape Cod. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a thing.
