The National Weather Service has confirmed that a tornado touched down along the Foxborough and Easton town line Saturday night, July 29.
The tornado reached an estimated peak wind of 105 mph, the weather service said, making it an EF-1 tornado. The tornado was about 100 yards wide and traveled about 400 yards, forecasters said.
There was also heavy damage in Brockton, East Bridgewater and parts of Easton because of microbursts, the weather service added.
The Easton Fire Department shared several photos of the town’s damage while the Brockton Fire Department posted several photos to Facebook.
The tornado comes only a few days after another one touched down near the New Hampshire border last Thursday.
That tornado was located over Roxbury in New Hampshire, near Keene, and was moving east at 30 mph dropping quarter-sized hail, forecasters said.
The National Weather Service said they anticipate releasing more information about Saturday’s tornado later Sunday evening.
