At about 3:20 AM this morning Concord was hit by an EF1 tornado (100mph winds). Damage was extensive but limited to a 400 yard wide by half mile long swath centered on Revolutionary Ridge just above the Wayside on Lexington Road. Thankfully no one was injured despite significant property damage. Crews were on the scene working to clear roads and restore services to those impacted by the tornado. Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Governor Karyn Polito toured the area and received briefings from Kurt Schwartz, director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, and Town Manager Chris Whelan. I happened to be touring at the same time and listened in on the conversation while taking photos of the entourage. Damages are expected to exceed $1M.
