“The damage observed by the team to this point is consistent with an EF 1 tornado,” the NWS said in a statement.

Campers and staff at the Walden School Summer Camp in Dublin told Boston 25 News that lights started flickering as the weather kicked into high gear. Less than a minute later, trees around them came tumbling down as wood panels and other debris swirled in the campus quad.
“We could hear the wind through the building,” said Lucas Blohm. “It was terrifying. There are little kids and there were people shaking and having panic attacks and stuff.”
