An F1 tornado and an Earthquake in N.E. in one February weekend!
« on: February 27, 2017, 02:30:49 PM »
It turns out that the storm front that blew through Mass. Saturday night spawned a mid-F1 tornado in the Berkshires.  The first tornado ever reported in Mass in Feb. in recorded history.  Thankfully there were no fatalities.  On top of that a 2.2 magnitude earthquake shook New Hampshire last night.  Oh wait, that might just have been me falling out of bed.

There was also an EF-2 tornado in NE PA near Pittston & Moosic.
Crazy when that front went through.

It was in Conway and Goshen Mass, east of the Berkshires but not too far from there, aprox.40 miles.

Here are some pics from the aftermath from local news sources:
