Tornado touches down Springfield, MA

[djcrazy515]

yo tht was the scariest thing ive ever experienced... the bank i work at it right near the X n we watch the tornado form as the cops was telling everyone to go inside... absolutely insane

[echo2zz]

I can't believe that there are ignorant people out there that really sit there and talk sh*t about this. People died and others hurt. Show some respect. Shows your lack of knowledge and somewhere down the road, your parents Fu*ked up raising your ignorant a*s. My condolence goes out to all those affected by this. I'm soon to be studying EMT/paramedic. Wish I would have done so earlier so I could have volunteered to help those in need out there. Hope this stays in the plains and doesn't occur

[kingj1337]

Im 40 minutes away from that thing i drive down that road to go to 6 flags at least 10 times a year such a shame.

[MrBlackman8625]

Ha ha ha the #1 most hated man is back what a shame, what a shame shame shame...not I'm glad they died Springfield has nothing but white and puerto ricans being racist who died they gets no sympathy from me at all it is funny that I was in Mass and nothing happened to me. . I'm still living while they are living to die.........Faggots!

[MsVamiIsBack]

[TheMrmcnoob]

THIS IS SO FUCKING REAL DID THAT NOT LOOK LIKE A TORNADO TO YOU SOME PARTS OF SPRINGFIELD WERENT HIT

[TheMrmcnoob]

i lost power for like 2 days, it was horrible

[purplerain2112]

Shit happens, and its up to us. to repair that terrible thing that has been done. people who bitch about it joke about it are obv. self-centered people. but Oklahoma had it a lot worse than we did so think about that.

[Aprilboox33]

@spartanprimus agreed there so ignorant I was actully pretty terrified .

[Aprilboox33]

stop saying it's fake because it's not , people got hurt and killed and many lost homes. It's called seeing with you're eyes , pictures, witnesses and the news . It's not Photoshoped..

[gwalters69]

@Aprilboox33 is right, it was live on TV. I drove out to Sturbridge off I-84 and saw the swath that same tornado cut.

[Aprilboox33]

@gwalters69 exactly i went by all the reckage it was completly horrible . it broke my heart to see all this.

[SpartanPrimus]

For any bitches who said this was fake or wasn't really a tornado, fuck off. People died from this. Over 200 injured. Show some damn respect.

[SpartanPrimus]

I was scared shitless watching this from the news. If it wasn't for the ocean winds that tornado would have hit us. For anyone who lost something, I am truly sorry.

[395sandy]

Idiots will be idiots. Unfortunately, theres' no medication for that yet. Anyone who doesn't believe the damage here can get off their fat behinds and come down here and give us a hand digging out and bring essentials to donate for those who lost everything. This thing could have shifted just a bit and it could have been you.

[manganever]

yeah i live in hampden so i know what it feels like

[DrkOblivionx]

@npkandi so did springfield college

[WebsterJake]

I'm located in Webster, MA. At 5:37 one of the tornadoes was supposed to hit us directly but it just passed to the north. The sky went so dark that it fooled the streetlights. We were lucky...but my thoughts go out to everyone affected by this.

[PatrickMc1nerney]

Check out the lightning storm in Lowell, MA on my channel. Feel free to send a video response either (there are two videos)

[DrDaffodil]

@TURKEYCASEBOOK

you moron. go advertise your freakin channel somewhere else idiot. same goes to you tee61702125 and givinthebiz.

Valient6, CLSkill, ZedBazinga you dumbshits i hope you burn in hell.

[DrDaffodil]

@theresn0limit

just trying to spark a little hope for people caught in the middle. a huge tree branch fell from a hundred feet up into my front yard and the tree it fell from is entirely hollow. the branch just because of a little windstorm a while back and the tree's so damn huge it'll kill somone next time it falls. i cant believe the tornado didnt take it out. impending death so to speak i guess. anyway calm down. i was afraid about it but it wasnt really how i felt about the tornado. :D

[likwidbeer]

Only took two days after a tornado for someone to feel the need to shoot two people.

[music4ismylife8]

How is this fake. wtf? I live an hour away from Springfield and this is real. Trust me; but we only got really bad thunder and lightning.

[katew420]

I live in Springfield and we still don't have power. It's defiently not fake, I watched that thing form.

[LoveLifeTillTheEnd]

@katew420 ikr! that things frickin terrifying! i live like... 45 minutes away from Springfield, and i was soo scared! funnel clouds were behind my house!!!! my friend wuz in Springfield and they came back, and after they slept over my house and showed me a vid. my 2 uncles are with Storm Watch, so they had to clean up Springfield. soo scary!!!!!!!!!1

[poesymtr]

WOW..it just seems like this dancefloor is WIDE open, ya know? E O D...t-minus: 18

[LethalLemonLime]

This was so unexpected...

It hit the end of my best friend's street. luckily for her, tornadoes never go in a straight path.

[caniaharon]

ITS REAL!!!!!! I live in Worcester, MA and it was all over the news here, and people died, so stop being disrespectful!!!!!!!

[MsVamiIsBack]

@caniaharon Me too! And Ikr!

[soawesome2]

@FreddyRetard YOUR THE DUMBEST FUCKING PERSON I'VE EVER MET I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES IT BARELY MISSED MY NEIGHBORHOOD, PEOPLE LIKE YOU SHOULD JUST STFU AND GTFO.

[bossladym80]

@FreddyRetard Flip on the t.v. It's national news. CNN and YAHOO had it on their front pages. Get with the program man!

[RosarioRebellion]

@FreddyRetard Um, no, you dumbass, we were all in it and experienced it. Never mind the red cross, the govenor and some armed forces coming to our town. Stupid.

[npkandi]

@FreddyRetard your a dumbass. did you know my friend's mother DIED in this tornado?

[PatrickMc1nerney]

I uploaded a video of a lightning storm outside my window in Lowell, MA. It's on my channel now

[moneytv]

Who would have thought a tornado would hit Springfield, Massachusetts? It's important to be prepared for ANY natural disaster. Make sure you have copies of important documents in a safe place, such as on a zip drive in safe deposit box. It makes it easier to prove you are who you are after a disaster.

[belltechs]

if you had a tornado like that you would shat your pants all over the ground till your tornado hits the house. I don't get tornadoes around, I live in Cottonwood.

[KeswickCamp08]

@belltechs yeah, thats what we thought to, but we got one, didnt we? heres the proof.

[NickVelas2011]

World is ending

[ShorTii86]

hahaha

[cquenault]

Did Mr. Burns shut down the power plant?

[jamespohh]

No,...it's not sucking up water. The water from the air is condensing into vapor around the extreme low pressure of the funnel.

[jheetreyes]

no way dude!

[heavypettingz00]

first

[PolaBEEEZY]

Whos still alive say me

[misterbobisme]

At first I didn't even see it. I was looking right THROUGH the tornado... Then I noticed it and it was a lot bigger than I had expected.

[Aprilboox33]

i'm a 16 year old girl and sometimes i make spelling mistakes , this is a time where we should stop insulting people over internet and look at real life danger like this. I'm Just gald there was not a lot of deaths but very upset a lot of houses torn down god bless quiero mucho a donde yo vivo <3

[PatrickMc1nerney]

resident Of Springfield, Ma

[opnasd]

I hope Homer is okay :O

[vietkidtiger]

:(

[xBirdyx1]

This is Hard To see, I live in Boston Ma, so east of Springfield and I never thought a Tornado would come to our state, Because we never had one since i think 1920.

[RickyL22]

omg what happened to the Simpson's?

[mrsmiller80]

@RickyL22 LOL UR CRAZY THATS NOT FUNNY....

[10Robob]

Best Wishes Springfield from New Hampshire.

[Youbian]

Tornadoes to the American people: "We're just getting warmed up"/

[MsVamiIsBack]

I live in Worcester and WOW! We only had a severe thunderstorm, and a small tornado watch! I'm praying for all the families. Good luck x

[rainerfilm]

I hope The Simpsons made it through this disaster.

[MsVamiIsBack]

@ZedBazinga Your a nice person! Why would you say that?! If a tornado passes through your hometown, would you be happy? Think before you comment.

[ZedBazinga]

@MsVamiIsBack It's spelled "you're" not "your". Think, and perhaps learn before you comment.

[cquenault]

@ZedBazinga Internets. Serious Business.

[MsVamiIsBack]

@ZedBazinga I dont care how I spell. This is online not SATs.

[ZedBazinga]

@MsVamiIsBack I do, and i corrected you.

[RockleeNinjaPenguin]

my hometown! D:

[xoPinkHeartsx3]

I live 20 mins from Springfield. Luckily, the tornado broke up before it got to my town. I only got rain, wind, and a yellowish sky.

[TheGonzalodrums]

omg wow wow wow omg

[xBrian6]

go back to tornado valley!

[ashx89]

@xBrian6 its tornado ALLEY xD

[cocktailget1]

this haarp?



[npkandi]

downtown springfield got really messed up. It's really sad.

[FinalTensh0]

@npkandi Not as bad as the cities in Alabama and Missouri.

[EmRose1332]

@FinalTensh0 Yeah not as bad but for the people here (springfield) its bad we don't experience this!

[npkandi]

@FinalTensh0 actually it was F3

[FinalTensh0]

@npkandi EF-3 is nothing compared to an EF-5 with winds greater than 200+ mph.

[RockleeNinjaPenguin]

@FinalTensh0 who gives a fuck?

[nanlisa]

That's unusual. New England isn't tornado-prone like the Midwest is.

[misslilangelx3]

I live in agawam, this was scary, the sky turned a yellowish orange hue, houses were destroyed, thunder roared and trees were uprooted, tornados are no joke.

[mollymousemm]

so scary, i liv near there

[PatrickMc1nerney]

Check out my channel to see the lightning storm in Lowell, MA. I just uploaded a second video (part II) a few minutes ago

[OUTOFGAS88]

you mother fuckers sure this ain't the fuckin rapture just a couple days late it sure the fuck looks like it.

[XSidSChikX]

I meant DEstructive lol

[judiciouspandemonium]

I got to Umass Amherst, which is only a half an hour away. It's scary to thing this is right nextdoor to where I go to school. The closest UPS Station to Umass is in Springfield....

[XSidSChikX]

Seriously people..knock it off. Tornadoes are terrifying and distructive no matter where they occur. Stop it with the whole "who got it worse" debate, its pathetic. Bottom line: Innocent people have lost their lives due to tornadoes across this country, no matter which state you're in. FACT.

[stellapaulie]

RIP The Simpsons

[EmRose1332]

@stellapaulie Its not a joke if you live near there like me youd understand okay

?!

[KeswickCamp08]

@stellapaulie Simpsons live in Springfield illinoise, not springfield ma -_-

[mo3cita]

@stellapaulie How much more ignorant can that comment be. The simpsons live in a fictional city called Springfield and that city was never based on a real city. Stop caring for the simpsons and start caring for the people that got injured in this catastrophic disaster.

[stellapaulie]

@mo3cita lmfao are you pulling my leg mate? or are you being serious as that comment cracked me up. Yes I am aware that the simpsons are fictional characters hahahaha get a sense of humour as this worlds lacking it rather badly. CATASTROPHIC!

[RosarioRebellion]

@stellapaulie It's hard to be humorous when we in Springfield have people dead and injured, homes, schools and businesses destroyed and are scared sick.

[SlySquriel]

That was freakin' scary! Lucky for me I live in Sterling and we only got like thunder storms and wind.

[Wersomoney01]

My house was inside the tornado and i have a picture before it hit our house. It wa massive and luckily my house is brick so it didnt take my house away but it fucked up everything around it!

[PatrickMc1nerney]

I just uploaded a video of the lightning storm outside my window in Lowell, MA to my channel.

[movement26]

As predicted by Dutchsinse.

[WickeDiLLusionZ]

@movement26 exactly.



[nddance26]

This tornado was abotu 30 or 20 miles from my house and we had 2 warnings. The lightning here was crazy and I was so scared. I never want to experience this again.

[gonzo69360]

@PootStip Ok, Guess here's another genius who knows it all. You got all these dates you most likely found online squared, but try to find when else in history, in a 10 yr span has there been occurences around the entire world just as we've had in these last 10? I've even witnessed first hand snow in baghdad.. I'm not religious but there is an explanation that goes beyond "this is just another". My only point to MA is be ready for whatever.. simply that.

[PootStip]

@gonzo69360 Five of the most powerful earthquakes in history (including the 2 strongest) occurred between 1957 and 1967. Three years later, the Bhola cyclone killed half a million in Bangladesh. Six years later, an earthquake killed between 500,000 and 750,000 in China. in 1974, a tornado outbreak killed 330 people in several states.

These things happen ALL THE TIME. It's just a statistical burp when several coincide in a short time. Calm yourself down.

[drochowski]

@gonzo69360 : you need to study more history. Learn about "year without a summer" in 19th century, about medieval climate change (it was REALLY hot in northern hemisphere back then), about "little ice age" in 17th century.

No need to panic. BTW - there is a good reason why Northern America didn't have any advanced society before Europeans arrived. This continent is not the best place to live with all the dangers like tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes.

[PootStip]

@drochowski Um, I don't think that's the "good reason". It's a little eurocentric to assume that our culture is inherently the next evolutionary step in civilization, and the Indians hadn't gotten there yet. The "good reason" was that they didn't want a culture like that. They actively and violently resisted assimilation once the Europeans got here.

Besides, China, India, and the Mideast all experience terrible disasters, and they all developed urban civilization millennia ago.

[katsrayoflight]

I was born in Springfield and went to school there (when I wasn't in Florida) ... I pray for my fellow New Englanders from all the places effected by these storms!

[AmericanGirl7722]

i live about about 100 miles east of Springfield right outside Boston. & it is completely shocking that this actually happened so close to home. So sad, & devistating. My heart & prayers go out to the victims of this vicious tornado!<3

[MiZzRiVeRa86]

omg I hope everyone is okay!!R.I.P to those live's lost..

[XxPrincessBaibix]

i was there n got out of springfield ma by 3:30 i was watching the sky n how black it was n felt the wind pick up. around 10 am i crossed the bridge were it started. i was shaking wen i arrived home. talk bout luck

[gonzo69360]

I'm from spfld too, born and raised. I agree with anyone who doesn't care about who has it worse. Is this a big deal? Yes it is, simply because we dont get weather like this there. Just remember snow in california, and louisiana (where I'm stationed), yes theres haiti and japan. Weather's changing and this one IS important because it shows now that we are no longer limited to certain natural disasters anymore. Point being for us in MA, it can and worse still, it WILL happen again.

[PootStip]

@gonzo69360 Um, there are many instances of tornadoes like this on all of the New England states. In the 1800s, a tornado that would today be considered an EF4 leveled Wallingford, CT. In the 1950s, another F4 trashed Worcester. They do happen here, it's just that no one bothers to pay attention to history. Or even bother remembering recent history... in 1979, an F4 tornado killed three people in Windsor locks, just a few miles south of Springfield.

[PootStip]

@gonzo69360 And just to clarify, MA owns the record for the 6th deadliest tornado in US history, and CT owns the record for the 6th most destructive tornado in US history. They may not be a weekly occurrence here like they are in Kansas, but this storm in no way indicates the apocalyptic conclusions you're implying. It has happened before in will happen again.

[JamesTyreeII]

@PootStip good to know. Thanks for informing us.

[mrDJC1]

it went down my street

[PatrickMc1nerney]

I just uploaded a video of the lightning storm in Lowell, MA on my channel.

[cyberlucy]

Holy crap! Who gives a damn about who has it worse. This was horrific no matter how you look at. So was Joplin, Alabama, and any other place where they came. I'm not playing the who's more pitiful contest with anyone.

[Derail07]

Behold.... Jesus is such a Prankster...

[PootStip]

@Aprilboox33 Good god, you're 16 and still can't spell simple words like "traumatized" and "college"? Thanks, MA education system >_<

[Derail07]

Sucks when this happends to YOUR state when you sit back eating Doritos watching other State suffer from worse Tornados 

[stupidheadface33]

@Derail07 Seriously? you're a retard.

[olivehead44]

i live in west springfield and this is honestly the worst thing ever. my prayers go out to all the victims. and PLEASE get red rose back and running soon!! best pizza ever

[marcspade67]

this was totally crazy! Nothing ever happens in Springfield,MA! It just dropped down outta nowhere! I was on bus and saw it drop on the South end! Such devastation

[broadside101]

day after tomorrow any one?

[luvzpalin1]

i love the red rose

[bassbob42]

So sad to see this, I grew up north of Springfield just a couple of miles

[themeganerds120]

i was so scared when this was going on i live in springfield

[ditman333]

I was in the lake at around 4 pm and my girlfriend was telling me she was having a bad feeling about the weather, but ignorantly i didnt listen, thank god a lady was walking her dog and told us there was a tornado warning, we got back to my house and the tornado hit where we were swimming. i thank the lord hes watching over us

[vanessabunnies]

thoughts and prayers to you all!

I was crossing the memorial bridge when i happened !!!!!

[Mroy0829]

Here is my issue with a few comments. 1 The guy who said that he saw worst damage in the Blizzard, Ok great thats nice I am sitting in this heat with no power with my family and friends homeless and some in critical condition.2 That we have no real tornados in MA WELL watch the video again its not Photoshop.

[Wersomoney01]

The guy who name is theres no limit needs to get fucked up! Yea you guys in texas get fucked up pretty bad but tell me when you guys have had a tornado. Wat like 5 years ago. Yea grow the fuck up and realise what happened now bitch. And second off it wasnt 3 houses it was all of south end pretty much all of downtown and it wasnt ok but it was bad in springfield! Have some fucking respect!

[tehmattbookpro]

@Wersomoney01 ..."Yea you guys in texas get fucked up pretty bad but tell me when you guys have had a tornado. Wat like 5 years ago. " ...Uh, Texas gets a solid percentage of the year's tornadoes. It's almost a walk outside and look up experience; Cut the guy some slack, it's practically good news to us when only 3 people die, as opposed to 20-100. I lived in Parkersburg, IA and survived the EF-5 that struck the town a few years ago.

[EthanQD]

i was swimming with my frend and we looked up and there was a tornado

[BAEBAELOVE]

and some people who actually dont think it was a big deal, yeah maybe its not hurricane katrina but yet again people died, people lost their homes and one way or another it caught us all by surprise. i certainly didnt believe it was happening until i saw hail outside my house. for me, this tornadoe being the only one ive ever seen i give those survivors some credit and i just hope if no one has something positive to say, might as well not say anything at all!!!

[3SG413]

damn im from spfld... i was just there Sunday & everything was great... that's crazy///

[Miscellaneousviidz]

i was on the bus in springfield i was freaking out because it began out of nowhere.

[crystalbaby143]

that is so nuts... i was visiting six flags new england yesterday when that happened... didnt realize how serious it really was :(
