Rhode Island Tornado

Today the National Weather Service confirmed that the waterspout seen off Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island yesterday did come ashore and did remain a tornado. The tornado, which went through Warren, RI and Swansea, MA, was an EF1 tornado with winds in the 65-75 mph range. The majority of the damage done by this tornado was downed trees and power lines, some of which fell onto area homes, and no injuries were reported. The cell was shown to have a Tornado Vortex Signature at least twice on radar yesterday, as well as radar-indicated hail of over 2''. Today, a potential tornado touched down in New Hampshire, but that has not been confirmed by the NWS yet.
