Four years ago, a devastating tornado ripped through parts of south-central Massachusetts.
The tornado impacted the cities and towns of Westfield, West Springfield, Springfield, East Longmeadow, Ludlow, Palmer, Wilbraham, Monson, Brimfield, Sturbridge, Southbridge, and Charlton.
The tornado grew to one-half mile wide. Estimated winds peaked at 160 mph. It stayed on the ground for 39 miles. Over $100 million in damage resulted from the tornado. Unfortunately, three people died and dozens more were injured.
Even four years later, we are still reminded of the tornado. Satellite images bear the scar that was left behind in the damage path.
We look back and remember all of those who were affected by the tornado.
