Just had a heavy duty thunderstorm cell blow through directly over my
location in MA (just north of Plymouth). The weather people went from
tornado watch to tornado warning due to circulation noted in the radar
image along with the classic "hook" and were advising to take shelter
immediately.

Heavy downpours and strong winds but fortunately no tornadoes.

Good news for you. We have solidly entered the south Florida summer
thunderstorm season. They can generate some extremely powerful winds
with almost no warning and every once in a while will spawn a tornado.

We had about 9 inches of rain in two days.. poured like sheets. and tornadoes touched locally andd in north stat.



Tornadoes are very rare in these parts, especially in eastern MA along
the coastline. It's very unusual and a little unnerving when the TV
stations break programming and make announcements to take shelter
immediately.

Apparently the weather people were watching a "hook" that typically
indicates a tornado. What caught my attention is that it appeared to
be directly over our location.
