Episode Narrative A frontal system brought a period of heavy rain, flash flooding, and embedded thunderstorms to southern New England from the morning to mid evening. In addition to much tree damage from straight line winds, there was one tornado in Connecticut, 2 in Rhode Island, and 1 in Massachusetts. These all occurred in the afternoon.
Event Narrative An EF-1 with maximum winds of 100 mph began on Bailey Hill Road in the town of Killingly, CT between Cranberry Road and Ledge Road, here the tornado removed shingles from a two story home and either snapped or uprooted healthy and mature trees. The tornado moved northeast towards Ledge Road causing similar tree damage before dissipating on Shippie Schoolhouse Road in the town of Foster, RI. Tree damage along the path was consistent with wind speeds between 90 and 100 mph, resulting an EF-1 rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
