Vermont tornado


From WPTZ.com, an apartment building has its roof torn off by a tornado today in Washington, Vermont.

Tornado watches and warnings are in effect tonight in portions of the region including Vermont and New York. Also thunderstorms continue to develop in Ontario and Quebec along a warm front with some becoming locally severe. The National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado with 100 mph winds touched down in Washington, Vermont. The storm tore the roof off an apartment building. Storms will continue to flare up this evening. Other severe weather is also occurring in Pennsylvania and New York. Heavy rain has continued flooding in New York and southern Quebec. The storms produced 60-75mm of rain in the Windsor/Detroit region yesterday, but thankfully most of the heavy rain stayed south of Montreal and the Richelieu River flood zone.

Nothing much to report here on Hatteras Island, North Carolina, other than warm and humid weather with a high of 30c (86F) today.
