More tornado touchdowns may be confirmed in connection with the stormy weather — the survey team that confirmed the Dublin information continued to examine storm damage in southern New Hampshire, the National Weather Service said.
There were tornado warnings in Vermont and Connecticut as well as New Hampshire on Sunday — at one point, parts of all three states were each under a separate warning.
A larger tornado watch had been issued for most of New England, including Boston. It was the highest tornado risk for the region in six years, the National Weather Service had said.
Severe weather in the area also interrupted a NASCAR race in Loudon, New Hampshire.
