Tornadoes slam Massachusetts

Burlington Coat Factory Plaza - Allen St. Springfield Ma



Springfield, MA If you are one of the many residents of Springfield, MA you were hit very hard by a tornado around 4:30pm. To fully understand the severity of the tornado you would have had to be caught in the storm like I was. It was one of the most mind blowing experiences ever. First came the calm and about 5minutes later all you could see was dirt and debris flying around. Then came the awful wind which destroyed my whole entire neighborhood and many others. Rushing to cover all I could was pray that even if the house was destroyed let me still be standing. After the storm had passed and the tornado bum rushed its way through my housing complex all that was left was a mess to clean.

Pictures Inside

Living up North it is rare that we ever see this type of weather. We often have tornado watches but never an actual tornado.... not until today. Houses are left off their foundation, trees are on top of cars, houses, and the road, and many buildings destroyed; all the aftermath of a 30sec tornado.

Only 1 West Springfield Man was confirmed dead.
Please pray for all the families whose lives were changed by this devastating disaster.
Many other tornado's were spotted around MA.
The Red Cross is helping all victims affected by the tornado...
MassMutual Center is open for all those seeking warm shelter.
