Massachusetts Tornado!


Yesterday was a scary day in New England!

I check my Weather Channel App on my phone every morning. When I checked it this time there was a Tornado Watch. I didn't believe it, I just thought New Enlgand gets watches here and there but nothing ever really happens. Oh was I wrong! Even though in New Hampshire nothing happened besides severe thunderstorms about 2 hours away in Springfield, Ma they weren't so lucky.

During rush hour yesterday a tornado ran through downtown Springfield and surrounding suburbs. I was watching it all happen over the news channels. I couldn't believe the video and pictures I was seeing. It was crazy. No one would ever expect something like this to happen in New England, it's very rare.

Massachusetts is under a State of Emergency and there are National Guard there now helping out with the aftermath. Reportedly 40+ people have been admitted to the hospital. There is still much more details to come.

I just hope that everyone is safe over there in Springfield, Ma! And hopefully with everyones help there can give them a speedy recovery and bring the town back to how it was.
