Tornado! Ten Years Ago Today.

June 1, 2011 freakish weather conditions produced an F3 Tornado that struck my home town of Monson, Massachusetts.

I had only recently returned from months in Ireland and Europe.

The day began with a violent thunderstorm, but most of the morning and afternoon were oddly still and bathed in a weird hazy sunshine.

The storm that brought the funnel moved quickly and brought destruction.

I saw the tornado from my window in Monson and made photos with my Lumix LX3. Two days later I went into town to document the damage.
