Surprise Tornado: (1 of 12)
In the already economically hard hit town of Springfield, Massachusetts, a rare and devastating series of tornadoes ripped through this working class town. The residents are still in shock the next morning as they take toll of the damage.

On Arcadia Blvd, Shelly Ann Sankar and her husband James Channing sit at what used to be their front door. Their house blew off its foundation and sits behind them. Propane was leaking from the basement tank but they or the fire department could not get to it to shut it off.
