A NWS Survey concluded that a microburst, with winds estimated at 90 mph, began in Erving, MA and then moved across Warwick. In Warwick, trees were down on Quarry Road and people were temporarily stranded at a campground just east of Quarry Road due to fallen trees. By far, the most extensive damage occurred on Wendell Road east of the campground and on Hockanum Road in the Hockanum Hill section of Warwick. There were more than a hundred trees downed, mainly pines. Many were snapped mid-way up and others were uprooted. Local Fire Department officials indicated that a couple of homes were hit by fallen trees on Wendell Road, one of which suffered damage to the property. Trees fell in the same direction, from southwest to northeast, indicative of straight-line winds. There were many downed power lines. Amazingly, no injuries were reported.
