Tremendous damage second day in a row, 4th time this week.
The storm that rattled Boston at 4 PM with 68 mph gust at Logan, went right over NECN. I saw the swirling base of the Giant Cumulonimbus, but no damge here in our Wells ave Office Park.
But the same storm caused the damage in these photos taken by Tom Langford.

On Beacon Hill, these residents could not believe what they saw after the 5 minute storm roarded down West Cedar Street.
They also could not believe no one was hurt in this neighborhood.

Here are links to storm damage reports..
Here we go again. Tornado Watch # 272 is issued for Southern New England in effect until 8 PM.
A Watch means Tornadoes may happen.
A Warning means Tornado is happening.
Given the dynamic of today's event, we may not be able to tell the difference between Tornadoes and Severe Storms with straight line wind. It does not really matter that much, each type will be a swirling mass of Rain, Hail, Lightning, and wind gusting past 70 mph. Individual cells are moving northeastward at 55 mph.
That storm movement is so fast it will be nearly impossible to track any individual tornado. Better safe than sorry.. deem them all as violent and take cover.
The Tornado count is 48 from yesterday, June 5, 2010, mostly from Iowa to Indiana.. One tornado was reported in New England, at 2:27 PM in Craftsbury Vermont. The same cell that crossed New Hampshire and Maine, warranting tornado warnings in Maine, with a funnel reported in Minot at 5:42 PM. The storm stayed on our radar all the way into Casco Bay at 7 PM.
Hopefully, but unlikely, today will be a little quieter. When i arrived to work at 4 AM, we had ongoing tornadoes in Ohio and Pennsylvania, never a good sign to have sunrise tornadoes. The bulk of this energy translates through New England from 1 to 5 PM today. Unseasonably strong (996 mb) Low pressure will traverse Northern New England this afternoon. We are not as warm today, so maybe we do not get tornadoes, but we surely get a line of severe storms south of the low center. For northern New England flooding rain is the big concern, for southern New England, lightning, wind and rain are all a threat.
Be prepared to take cover as storms race through at 45 mph, with gusts to 75 mph.
Here are storm reports from Today, sunday June 6, 2010. The same storm system that killed 7 in the tornadoes to our west the last two days.
