Well, the tornado warnings certainly got our attention, but all we got was thunder-and-lightning (of a strength that certainly got our attention) and wee little hail pellets. My daughter lives closer to Springfield, MA (in Northampton, Kat!) and was sent home early on her first day of work because the city ordered all non-essential workers of all professions to seek shelter!
...she lives in a 3d floor walkup but managed to locate the basement (it's a new-to-her rental). Noho was spared, but several other towns were slammed.

There are some mighty impressive videos. My connection is wonky right now but lots are on youtube- or "google" springfield ma tornado and you can see it in action!

My heart is with all those affected.
