A deli on Shear Street was struck by lightning. The resulting fire gutted the second floor apartment and one firefighter was injured while fighting the fire.
The tornado touched down just east of Lake Archer where tree top damage was observed. It then continued into the middle of downtown Wrentham, crossing the town common and uprooting an 80 foot tall maple tree. several trees were uprooted and large limbs were downed in the town cemetery east of the common. The tornado then lifted just east of the cemetery. No injuries were reported and many people interviewed received a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) on their cell phones when the warning was issued and took shelter.
At 1255 PM EST, Thurston Street in Wrentham was closed due to street flooding. At 119 PM EST, one lane of East Street was closed due to street flooding.
