We get hailstorms where I'm at, and an occasional tornado. I grew up in New England, for the most part, and I recall a tornado hitting Nashua, NH (I think it was) and another was somewhere in MA. But that would have been in the 1960s or 70s.

Glad that wave has passed!

The monsoons just barely stopped. I think I just heard on the weather about what might have been a tornado in your area that sheared off trees. Stay safe. Eventually it will end.
