Tornado. In Coventry, a short-lived tornado touched down near the intersection of South Street and Pucker Street, downing several large trees in a field. It had a discontinuous path as it traveled to the east-northeast across a wooded area, where it created pockets of tree damage. It then touched down again just north of the intersection of Flanders Road and Nathan Hale Drive, where it damaged power lines and then moved through another wooded area. At least 50 trees were damaged in this area, with many having their tops sheared off. More than a dozen trees were blown down. It appears that the tornado dissipated quickly after that, since no other significant damage was observed farther to the northeast. No homes in the area had any damage. Two residents reported hearing the tornado warning, moving to safety in their basement, and then about 15 minutes later hearing a loud wind that lasted just moments. The tornado is estimated to have been on the ground no more than 90 seconds.

Probably a good idea to activate your winter power outage EM plan at this time if you haven't already. https://t.co/vWondxKsnk
