BOSTON (AP) — The National Weather Service has confirmed that at least one tornado touched down in Rhode Island.

It was part of a string of violent thunderstorms that pushed through Rhode Island and Massachusetts on Tuesday. There are reports of wires and trees down.

The weather service confirmed the tornado struck Lincoln, Rhode Island, around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. Additional survey work will be conducted Wednesday to determine more details about the tornado.

Preliminary work is also being done in North Providence, Rhode Island, where the weather service has not yet determined if a tornado touched down there as well.

Officials are also investigating reports of a possible water spout on Sagamore Beach near the Cape Cod Canal in Massachusetts.


No injuries have yet been reported from these storms.
