Hi Chris - We came through an area east of Springfield on 84 today on the way back from Hausman's and saw some pretty impressive damage. Every single tree in a swath about 1/5 mile wide and from the west side of the highway as far as we could see and on the east side as far as we could see was snapped off and on the perimeter of the path all trees were stripped of all leaves. Houses and other buildings sustained severe damage from being entirely flattened to others that had the roofs ripped off and/or exterrior and interrior walls missing. Credit where credit is due, it was a devastating tornado or tornados but still nothing like other parts of the country.

Hi Dean.
You must be talking about Sturbridge, Ma., our shop is in Southbridge the next town over. It's is amazing how much localized the damage is, there are houses blown apart and 100 yds. away the lawn chairs are still at the tables. The We were fortunate enough to be on the far side of town. I have to agree though, as bad as it seems, nothing like out west.

Did you see any 32" DHE's for sale at Hidden Hollow? Larry was going to be on the look out for me too.
Chris
