Windy Weather in New England

I live in Rhode Island and we normally get a Tornado here and there off in the Bay but three landed on the water and then became F3 tornadoes. It was spooky. About 1 life was lost and about 102 were injured. Two counties that day in Rhode Island had Tornado Warnings TWICE. At times during that time we had winds well sustained at around 70 mph (with my Handy dandy WeatherBug) and gusting to 118 at one point! Windiest weather in history for the local area!
