Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A weak tornado touched town in the town of
Thompson in northern Windham County, Connecticut. A NWS
meteorologist conducted a storm survey following tips from amateur
radio operators and local broadcast meteorologists. The following
information summarizes all of the reports.
The tornado touched down near a red barn near the intersection of
Quinebaug Road (Route 131) and Riverside Drive (Route 12). It was
reported to be about 50 yards wide and tracked northeastward in a
discontinuous path, impacting areas just south of Ryler Court at
Riverside Drive, Wilsonville Road, Wagher Road, and Denis Drive at
Labby Road.  It then crossed the Massachusetts/Connecticut state
line and ended as a waterspout in Lake Chaubunagungamaug. Although
discontinuous, the total path length was 4.7 miles. The approximate
path width was 50 yards. Damage photos led to estimates of maximum
wind speeds of 80 to 85 mph, which puts this on the upper end of
the EF0 category of the Enhanced Fujita Scale. The time, based on
radar and eyewitness accounts, was from 1015 AM to 1024 AM EDT.
More specifically, when the tornado touched down near Backwater
Brook, it snapped several trees in half in a convergent fashion.
It caused minor backyard damage at a nearby property before felling
numerous trees and power lines near the intersection of Riverside
Drive and Ryler Court. Tree damage was also reported at Wilsonville
Road and several trees were snapped in the backyard of a house near
Wagher Road and Forest Hill Drive. A tree was partially snapped near
Denis Drive at Labby Road before causing minor damage near Woods
Grove. Finally, multiple residents witnessed a waterspout over Lake
Chaubunagungamaug before dissipating near Killdeer Island.
