On its way back to sea, Henri, downgraded from a tropical storm to a tropical depression, brought a tornado to Massachusetts and flash floods to other states in the Northeast.
The National Weather Service (NWS) on Monday confirmed that a tornado touched down in Marlborough, Massachusetts, around noon.
‘A small, brief tornado touched down just west of I-495 near the Marlborough Water Treatment Center, went over a business park and traveled northwest a short distance before dissipating just north of Cedar Hill Street,’ the NWS said, according to NBC 10.
‘Several eyewitnesses reported seeing tree branches lofted into the air.’
The tornado ripped out a tree on Cedar Hill Street which fell over two cars and damaged one of them. No injuries have been reported.
As Henri moved through the central part of the Bay State, the NWS had issued three separate tornado warnings, from 11.30am to 2.15pm.
