DOUGLAS, MASS. (WHDH) - Town officials are investigating the possibility that a tornado touched down in Douglas early Thursday morning after a powerful storm left a trail of destruction in its path.
Photos shared on social media showed downed trees littering the area with apparent “twisting damage,” according to a post on the fire department’s Twitter page.
One uprooted tree could be seen atop a crumpled car, while other large branches were photographed leaning against a house.
Fire officials said there were no reported injuries.
