Tuesday, September 5th was a scorcher! It was one of the hottest days of the summer, and of course it happened with everyone back in school! How hot was it? Check out the temperatures from the National Weather Service in Caribou!
I know...I know! The media is accused of being like Chicken Little and saying the "Sky is Falling" whenever we say that there is a Beach Hazard's Statement/Warning. Flash Flood Warnings or Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. Most times, there's nothing, but then on Saturday there was something!
Tornadoes no doubt predate what we now refer to as Massachusetts on the North American continent, but the first "whirl-wind," as they were called back in the day, was recorded right here in Massachusetts.
