National Weather Service confirms tornado touched down in Dublin, New Hampshire
Thursday's tornado touched down in multiple communities in southwestern New Hampshire, according to a new National Weather Service assessment.
DUBLIN, N.H. — A tornado touched down in Dublin on Thursday afternoon.
National Weather Service meteorologists confirmed that an EF1 tornado with maximum winds of 90-95 mph caused damage seen in the southwestern New Hampshire town.
Surveyors are also visiting Keene to assess what caused the storm damage seen there. Results of that survey are expected by Friday evening.
A National Weather Service spotter saw a tornado on the ground near Roxbury and Keene just before 3 p.m. Thursday while a tornado warning was in effect in that area.
The severe storm caused significant damage near the Dublin School, uprooting trees near the institution's tennis courts and left a building tipped on its side.
“I noticed the horizon line looked totally different. Tons of these big trees, oaks and maples, were gone,” Chris Anderson said.
After the storm, one boat at the school was found damaged about 200 feet away into the woods.
The storm also did damage to a solar array for the school. Anderson has worked in solar for 20 years.
