The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency is sending investigators to asses the damage in the area. The National Weather Service said it's still too early to know the exact strength, path and length of the tornado. The NWS is also conducting damage surveys in Dudley and Woodstock, Connecticut.

This is third tornado in southern Worcester County in the last two weeks.

NWS says strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts will continue as showers move eastward.
