Tornado Strikes Washington County
Millions of black flies were blown clear into another country!
This past Monday, an EF1 tornado touched down in the small area of Kossuth Township, which is somewhere in the woods between Topsfield on Route 1 and Springfield on Route 6. The storm knocked over 100 trees down, according to the National Weather Service. This was the first tornado of 2019 here in Maine.
Luckily, no one was hurt when Mother Nature exploded.
An EFI tornado produces winds anywhere between 86 and 100 miles per hour.
