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.
