anywhere. only like one light nick strike somewhere on the scan here and then about -- lightning strike somewhere on the scan here and then we had a severe thunderstorm warning go out. the national weather service is watching a strong storm over the outer part of the cape near or south of wellesley to east ham orleans and it's moving out so no severe thunderstorm but they say it's strong storm. we have rain left over southeastern massachusetts. not getting the coverage of the rain down there that some of the places have show you what happened. what was going on is severe thunderstorm warning went up by the national weather service and started to see rotation as it moved from marlboro and back here and started down marlboro knee sudbury and towards concord and you can see what looks to be a hook. it has not been confirmed by the national weather service

signatures and you can see going through billerica and sort of rotation weakens. that was the end of that. but the national weather service had the tornado warning up through north even middlesex and then a severe thunderstorm warning in essex county and that was it. a couple severe thunderstorm warnings southeastern massachusetts but we are done with the severe weather and we have a little rain to go through here but we have had damage from this storm so let's see where the damage occurred. for example in marlboro multiple trees and power lines avenue maple avenue and that occurred at 3:07 and in concord trees down on alcott road and probably will get additional damage reports as this moved off to the northeast. so there was rotation in the air and as soon as national weather service sees row station that's a loss no confirmation of being on the ground but there was damage. when rotation is seen on the scan they will come out with a tornado warning.
