Worcester Tornado 1953
June 10, 2010 - A day late but I had a graduation to attend. People that remember the 1953 tornado got a bit nervous this past weekend when two days in a row brought us tornado watches and severe thunderstorms. Especially a nerve wracking day was when the watch was posted for a storm that had previously hit towns in the upper Midwest killing several residents this weekend. The scenario seemed so eerily familiar. Some facts about the Worcester 53 tornado: Rated and F 4 tornado (although some have tried to have it moved to a F5), 84 minutes on the ground, one mile wide, 46 miles it tour countryside up from Petersham to Southborough. Ninety-four people perished in the tornado - three people in Southborough were killed when it took out the Fayville Post office, 1300 injuries and 10,000 people left homeless. This tornado was considered one of the deadliest and costliest tornados in US history until 1979. I work in Worcester fighting the Asian Long Horned Beetle and the most heavily infested area is that of the Burncoat and Greendale area. I have talked with many people while surveying and monitoring cutting and restoration process in the area. Many lived through the tornado and recounted which houses were lost and which were repaired. Which neighbor was injured or killed. How they lost all their trees back then to the tornado and now are loosing the replantings of Norway Maples to the beetle. I was fortunate enough to monitor a large silver maple that was to come down in the author of the Worcester tornado book "Tornado! 84 minutes, 94 Lives" A very fascinating talk. Assumption College on West Boylston Street had taken a direct hit and a priest and two nuns were killed there. School books landed in Boston and the Blue Hills. Mr. O'toole was on a committee to have a monument built to honor those that lost their lives in the tornado. Assumption College moved more westerly and the site is the home to Quinsigamund College now and has gone through extensive renovations and additions. The monument was removed to a safe place during this time but just recently was sited in a new location on campus. I will try to get a photo of it. |

PREVENT THE SPREAD OF NON-NATIVE AQUATIC HITCH HIKERS
Boaters launching their craft into Massachusetts waterways should check to be sure they aren't giving a free ride to non-native aquatic plants or animals. Aquatic, exotic invasives can easily be transported between water bodies by boats, motors, trailers, fishing equipment, anchors, bait buckets, live wells, swimming and diving gear, and other aquatic equipment. These hitchhikers can wreak havoc in lakes and ponds by choking waterways through explosive growth, fouling intake and discharge structures, lowering lakefront property values, impeding boating, swimming and fishing, and reducing biodiversity by crowding out native fish, insects, other animals and plants. Once they are established in a water body, it is nearly impossible to eradicate these non-native invasive organisms.
With the discovery of invasive zebra mussels in Laurel Lake in Lee and Lenox in July of 2009, the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) wants to make boaters aware of new procedures that must be followed for any watercraft to be launched at Berkshire waterbodies determined to be at high or moderate risk for zebra mussel colonization. Anyone launching watercraft at Ashmere Lake, Cheshire Reservoir, Housatonic River, Lake Buel, Lake Garfield, Lake Mansfield, Laurel Lake, Onota Lake, Plunkett Reservoir, Pontoosuc Lake, Prospect Lake, Richmond Pond, Shaw Pond, and Stockbridge Bowl must fill out a Clean Boat Certification Form. This form is available at the boat ramp kiosks and is posted on the DCR website at: www.mass.gov/dcr/watersupply/lakepond/downloads/zebra_mussels_clean_boat_certification_form.pdf. Boaters and other water users can help prevent the spread of invasive non-native plants and other organisms by two major cleaning methods described on the Clean Boat Certification form, described in detail in a zebra mussel brochure at www.mass.gov/dcr/watersupply/lakepond/downloads/ZebMussBro09.pdf.
In central Massachusetts, anglers planning to launch at the DCR Quabbin Reservoir must follow a different launching procedure. All private boats launched on the reservoir must now have an intact Quabbin Boat Seal that certifies the craft has gone through a DCR approved decontamination process. Seals must be intact when the boats are inspected by Boat Launch Area attendants prior to launching. For more information on the Quabbin Boat Seal Program, go to www.mass.gov/dcr/watersupply/watershed/documents/quabbinboatsealfaq.pdf or call the Quabbin Visitors Center at (413) 323-7221.
Zebra mussels are small 1-2" D-shaped mussels with alternating light and dark bands. They are very prolific and can spread at an alarming rate, clogging boat motors, shutting down power plants, and out-competing native freshwater mussels. Zebra mussels have a microscopic larval stage and can travel undetected in bait buckets, live wells and cooling water. There are no known methods of control for zebra mussels once they have invaded a water body. To prevent an introduction of zebra mussels, it is imperative that boaters empty all bait buckets, live wells and cooling water on dry land away from the shore.
Report zebra mussel sightings to Tom Flannery at tom.flannery@state.ma.us, call (617) 626-1250 or visit the Lakes and Ponds website www.mass.gov/lakesandponds for fact sheets. DCR also asks interested citizens to consider joining the Weed Watchers Program. The DCR Lakes and Ponds program is looking for anglers, boaters, lake and pond association members and other water users to help prevent the spread of aquatic invasives. Participants will receive hands-on-training in plant identification, a Guide to Aquatic Invasive Species and other helpful publications. Information on the Weed Watchers Program is at: www.mass.gov/dcr/watersupply/lakepond/weedwatch.htm. |

Trouble in Probation: A Black Eye, yet a Golden Opportunity Criminal corrections has been front page news recently. On one hand, I joined my colleagues in the legislature to enact an overdue Criminal Offender Records Information (CORI) law that will help rehabilitate criminals and give employers better information when hiring ex-offenders. That’s good news. On the other hand, this important policy vote was eclipsed by troubling Boston Globe articles alleging patronage and “pay-to-play” hiring in the Department of Probation. As your legislator, it’s frustrating that years of good work by many hardworking elected officials on CORI reform was overshadowed by accusations of government self interest and corruption. When it comes to earning the public confidence, these events are one step forward and two steps back. I commend Chief Justice Marshall for her swift response to the probation allegations by replacing the commissioner and assigning a special investigator with exceptional powers to look into and prosecute wrongdoing. In the House, I filed an amendment to the CORI legislation that would increase accountability and transparency in the probation hiring process. In the coming months I will stay focused on this issue and committed to increasing oversight in probation and elsewhere. At the same time, we have a golden opportunity to address broader criminal corrections policy and cost issues that have been on the legislative back burner for years. At the heart of the discussion is a significant 10-year growth in corrections spending. We are spending more, but not seeing a material public safety benefit and we need to do better. More accountability in hiring is only part of the problem. A recent report by the Boston Foundation finds that many non-violent offenders, with the support of proven re-entry strategies, can be helped back to leading productive, taxpaying lives. The alternative - expanding our prisons - is hard to justify given there are other successful and cost-effective options available, many of which are already working in other states. In the coming months I will work to ensure that our state agencies are professionally run by employees who are qualified to perform. At the same time, we must take advantage of this critical opportunity to show public policy leadership and implement cost-saving reforms to our sentencing and corrections programs. We cannot and should not let this opportunity pass us by. ### State Representative Carolyn Dykema represents the towns of Holliston, Hopkinton, Medway (pct. 1), Southborough (pct. 2&3) and Westborough (pct 2). |

Tornadoes Tornadoes are nature’s most violent storms, with whirling winds that can reach 300 mph. Spawned from powerful thunderstorms, damage paths can be in excess of one mile wide and 50 miles long. Tornadoes are no strangers to Massachusetts, where we experience a few small tornadoes annually. People of this area have experienced the destruction of the infamous Worcester Tornado, which swept through Central Massachusetts in June of 1953. It was ‘on the ground’ for 1 hour and 24 minutes, traversing 46 miles and measured almost one mile wide at times. Ninety-four people were killed and over 1,200 were seriously injured. The total cost of damage was estimated at $53,000,000, as 640 homes were destroyed, with an additional 3,700 damaged. Before a Tornado threatens · Know the terms used by meteorologists: 1.Tornado Watch – Tornadoes are possible. Remain alert for approaching storms. Listen to the Media for updates.
2.Tornado Warning – A tornado has been sited or indicated by weather
radar. Take shelter immediately. · F-0: 40-72mph;chimney damage, tree branches broken · F-1 73-112mph;mobile homes pushed off foundations/overturned · F-2: 113-157mph;considerable damage, demolished mobile homes, uprooted trees · F-3: 158-205mph; roofs/walls torn down, cars thrown, trains overturned · F-4: 207-260mph;well-constructed walls leveled · F-5: 261-318mph;homes lifted off foundations/carried considerable distances · Ask your local Emergency Management Office about the tornado threat in your area, the community warning signals and locations of Public Shelters. · Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio with a battery backup and tone-alert feature, as well as a battery-powered commercial radio and extra batteries. · Determine locations to seek shelter, such as a basement or storm cellar. If an underground location is not available, identify an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor. · Practice going to your shelter with your household. · Know locations of designated shelters in places where your family spends time such as public buildings, nursing homes, shopping centers and schools. · Assemble your family’s Disaster Supply Kit. (See) · Make a record of your personal property, taking photographs/video of your belongings. Store these documents in a safe place. During a Tornado Watch · Listen to NOAA Weather Radio or commercial Media for updates. · Be alert for approaching storm, particularly revolving funnel-shaped cloud. Other tornado danger signs include a dark, almost greenish sky; large hail; a large, dark, low-lying cloud; or a loud roar, similar to a freight train. · Be warned that sometimes tornadoes develop so rapidly; there is no visible advanced warning. · Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as an auditorium, cafeteria, supermarket or shopping mall. · Be prepared to take shelter immediately. Gather household members, pets and Disaster Supplies. During a Tornado Warning · In a residence or small building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement or storm cellar. If there is none, go to an interior room on the lower level (Closet, interior hallway). Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to cover your head and neck. · Do not open windows. Use the time to seek shelter. · Go to the center of the room, avoiding the corners, which attract debris. · In large public buildings, go to predetermined shelter areas. Interior hallways on the lowest floor are usually safest. Stay away from windows and open spaces. · In a high-rise building, go to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest possible floor. · Get out of vehicles, trailers and mobile homes immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building. Never try to outrun a tornado in a congested area. · If caught outside with no shelter, lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Be aware of the potential of flooding. · Do not go under a bridge or overpass. You are safer in a low, flat location. · Watch out for flying debris from tornadoes, the cause of most fatalities and injuries. After a Tornado · Listen to the Media for the latest emergency information. · Be aware of broken glass and downed power lines. · Help injured or trapped persons. Do not attempt to move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of death or further injury. · Stay out of damaged buildings, returning only when authorities deem it safe. · Use the telephone only in emergencies. · Leave the area if you smell gas or chemical fumes. · Take photographs/video of the damage for insurance purposes. · Remember to help your neighbors, particularly those who may require special assistance. |
