| Episode Narrative | An occluding low pressure system was over the region resulting in scattered severe thunderstorms. |
| Event Narrative | An NWS storm survey determined an EF1 tornado with estimated maximum wind speeds of 80 to 90 mph occurred near Bangor. The first damage was noted at a Public Works Barn. Damage in this area was consistent with maximum wind speeds of 70 to 80 mph. A small tree was felled and several tiles were blown off the roof. Of note, some of the tiles from the roof were found approximately one quarter mile away near a school. For the next approximate mile, discontinuous tree damage occurred in a wooded area. The highest degree of damage was noted behind a residence on Washington Boulevard. At that location, several softwood trees were uprooted and a few were snapped. Maximum wind speed in this area were estimated to be 80 to 90 mph. This is also the location where the estimated maximum width was observed, approximately 100 yards. Further tree damage was noted where the tornado crossed the train tracks near the intersection of Mill Street and Murray Street. The final damage was noted with some tiles blown off a historic commercial building at the intersection of Murray Street and W Messinger Street. |
