Hey @GovDanMcKee - we need to remind people that smoking is not allowed on RI state beaches. Ruins the enjoyment of our gorgeous coastline. Currently being smoked out by a cigar smoker at East Matunuck.
As a Midwest native who now lives just houses away from where this tornado touched down, I knew it was a tornado from the sound last night. By the way, the tornado warning alert didn’t happen until AFTER the tornado tore through Lincoln. Need to work on that alert system!
