In Winchendon, Mass., two people died when wind from the storm system caused a tree to fall on their car. In Spencer, population 330, residents and rescue workers were stunned. The town is gone. Janklow said he expects the death toll to remain at six. The missing have since been accounted for, he said.
Residents say they had no warning of a tornado.
But Janklow said most residents heard nothing but the sound of the approaching storm. But it wouldn't have made any difference. The storm wrecked the town. There was no place to go. It's a miracle more weren't killed.
