MANCHESTER, N.H. (WHDH) - A severe series of storms that pushed across southern New Hampshire Friday evening prompted multiple tornado warnings, toppled trees, and turned roads into rivers.
Towns and cities in southern and central New Hampshire were hit the hardest. A pair of tornado warnings were simultaneously in effect at one point.
Heavy rain flooded many streets in Manchester, leaving motorists and pedestrians stranded in knee-deep water.
Gusting winds knocked a massive tree on to a home in Gilmanton, and it tore down power lines as it fell.
The Hopkinton Library suffered extensive damage after a lightning strike.
