Massachusetts is now in a state of emergency from the tornado that hit just hours ago and is still ongoing.The deadly weather(0ne fatality so far) was southwest of Saugus but the clouds-- the likes that I have never seen before were not far away.Two super cells hit Ma and the situation is very fluid at the moment and this will make the national news.Say a prayer---charliezap

Keep your head low, we have been through a couple, very scary. take care, looks like there are a couple of cells that might come close to you in an hour or so, hopefully they will blow out. Bob

The National Guard has been called out.So far 4 dead and over 30 injured.We don't get weather like this in Ma.The Worcester tornado in 1954 killed over 90 and it was at least an F4.--charliezap

These look like mammatus clouds. Best examples I have seen of these were taken in Nebraska 2004. http://www.nebraskaweatherphotos.org/june2004hastings-mammatus.html
Hope the weather improves for you.
