Springfield MA Tornado (As it was happening)

Credit to 22 News wwlp.com, I do not own the footage shown on the television.

A tornado has touched down in Springfield MA. Sorry for the shaky cam. We had severe thunderstorms around our area, and rain started to pick up.

Damage Reports: No deaths have been reported as of yet. A 16-Wheeler has tipped over, there was a gas leak inside the town, and some buildings walls have fallen in.

THIS WAS A CONFIRMED TORNADO.

@linusbomb This actually happened around 4:30-4:45. Some kids take afterschool programs, so yes there were kids in school.

@katew420 somebody pissed on the wrong side of the toilet seat this morning! Where the hell do you get your information from? There were only 4 touchdowns that day. There were other tornadoes that occurred in MAINE. That goddamn EF3 almost killed my grandmother. You wanna fight? go 4 it, I got my caps lock ON.

@59Ballons uh..... hello? why don't you look something up before you start making accusations. "According to the National Weather Service, there were seven reports of tornadoes touching down in Massachusetts Wednesday. " Plus the one unconfirmed would make *gasp* 8! google it genius.

@katew420 uh... hello? if you are such an expert than you should know that there were not 8 touchdowns. Its enough to say that there was a tornado "500 yards away from your house", but now you support your argument with blatantly false information to try and get your point across?

i saw the whole thing and heard about it too!

[ceilingfanlovetimm9y]

we were lucky it didn't even hit our house!

Was taking a nap in my living room at the time & was woken up by that noise they do when their testing that siren thing on the TV every week or so only this one was real & it was on FOX 2/ Channel 40! Also big red bar at the bottom saying stuff about the tornado, & that was around 4:20pm.

@jhasselberger It's dumb that we don't have those tornado sirens. If you take a look at the stats, tornadoes really aren't that uncommon in New England. Everyone is going to experience at least one in their lifetime even living here, so I don't understand why they don't give us some sort of emergency siren.

o_o I have never seen an EAS screen like that before.
