Tornado

A tornado has claimed one victim in each state.

Does Maine get tornadoes? You bet.

Maine is expected to see its second impactful heat wave, with an extended period of 90 degree plus heat starting on Sunday

The wicked Mainer reactions from the guys on the crew are hoot to hear while we watch too. One of them jokingly encourages somebody to "Go stand in it."

A confirmed tornado touched down on Cape Cod Tuesday, and tore the roof off one West Yarmouth vacation destination.

Glenn Byrant Jr. caught what was either a water spout or tornado, something that is pretty rare in southern New England!

We obviously don't experience them nearly as regularly as "tornado alley" in the middle of the country, but we actually get our fair share of severe storms right here in Vacationland.

Toto! I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!

With a violent tornado outbreak in the South and Midwest this week, it's probably a good thing to remember: while they're really rare, tornadoes can happen right here in Maine, too.

Watch two videos of the funnel cloud from the National Weather Service in Caribou.

Thank to our listeners for amazing photos like this one Krysi Harmon sent from Sebago Lake. As you know, Sebago has been hosting tornado parties lately and soon a new episode of "Sharknado" can be filmed there. I would call it "Bassnado" though, since it's a lake. Do you have any crazy weather pictures lately to share?

UPDATED, 3:30 p.m.: The National Weather Service in Gray concluded that a tornado did touch down in Limington on Monday afternoon, according to WMTW.
