Tornadoes in New England!

Postby Thud » Thu Jun 02, 2011 8:58 am

One of them hit my hometown of Monson, which had some houses destroyed, fortunatly nobody was killed.
But in Springfield and Westfield 4 people have died.
I can't get into contact with my uncle in Westfield, I hope he's OK.

Blame global warming.

Or in New England it could be all of the hot air coming from John Kerry.

It's an intense season for twisters and we still have a ways to go as far as tornader season goes.  Sorry to hear about the losses up there and hope your family is ok.  It's a shock to get hit by a 10 minute twister that suddenly changes your entire life.  Especially way up there in New England.


My wife is back in Tuscaloosa right now helping her family clean up the mess after that F-5 hit them in April.  I'm tied down with military obligations right now but I will be headed their in July to lend a hand where I can.

I can sympathize. I've seen the results of several in this area and had damage to my house in one. And back in the 87, an F4 killed 7 people and injured at least

145 as it cut a path 20 miles long and two miles wide, leaving 300 homeless. I spent the next several days patrolling the area.

Hope your family is ok. :)
