Severe Weather Moves Through Rhode Island, Mass.

Some of Connecticut’s neighbors were slammed with severe weather Tuesday afternoon, with at least three tornadoes touching down in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, according to Chief Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan.
One tornado touched down in Lincoln, RI, and another formed in Sandwich, Mass., according to the National Weather Service.
Radar also confirmed a tornado in Norton, Mass., Ryan said.
The NWS will investigate the strength of these tornadoes and how long they were on the ground. Tornadoes are very rare in October. The tornado on Cape Cod is exceptionally rare - the last tornado in that area of on Aug. 22, 1977. This is only the third to touch down in Barnstable County since 1950.
