Possible tornado in Chicopee, MA Part 2

After the famous tornado that struck Springfield, MA, on 6/1/11, another storm followed behind. 22 news said there was rotation detected and headed up the mass pike (I-90) and will be crossing I-391. I went outside and got this short clip of rotation. Its not much, but it was right where the weathermen said it was. It later touched down in Wilbraham, MA.

What neighborhood or town was this shot from? I was watching 22 News when the second tornado alert was sounded. The live web cam showed a large black cloud hovering over the north side of Springfield that was wrapped in rain. Sure was scary. Thanks for posing this clip.

This was shot from right behind ray ashe park and st rose cemetary. The mass pike is at the end of my street and thats about where the low clouds are hanging above, unless they are more towards Granby Road which is right on the other side. 22 News isnt too far from here either. Its at the bottom of the hill from my neighborhood. When they said it was headed towards their station I knew I had to grab my camera. Thank god it didnt touch down!

Thanks. I read that the second funnel cloud crossed the Conn. River from W. Springfield into Springfield along the line of Route 20. Not sure if it actually touched down before it reached Wilbraham - maybe it did? Someone has a video shot around "16 Acres" in Springfield - I think this is the second tornado. June 1, 2011, will go down in history when "All Hell Broke Loose" in Western Mass.
