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!
Windsor Locks (CT, right near MA border) had a tornado in 1979, and Worcester had a major one in 1953. That one sucked my great-aunt out of her farmhouse and brought her about 200 feet from her house. She had back problems the rest of her life, but survived.
Watching my local CT news and the view of the tornado crossing the river is amazing.
I live in eastern Mass, and a tornado touched down here about 8-10 years ago. There’s been tornado warnings all evening.
Worcester had a bad tornado 40 or so years ago. It hit downtown at 5 o’clock in the afternoon on a weekday. I think a lot of people were killed.
