We’re getting a taste of what Alabama and Missouri suffered. A tornado touched down in Western Massachusetts, with two confirmed deaths in my old stomping grounds of Westfield. Mike Dobbs, whose “Out of the Inkwell” blog is a link over on the right, lost every tree in his Springfield yard, and one of them destroyed his car. The lightning/thunder/rain here, closer to Boston, has let up twice, only to get even worse again each time. The lights have flickered a couple of times, so I’ll post this now in case we lose power.
Update: news reports corrected the two deaths in Westfield. They were actually in West Springfield, a neighboring town.
