The Northeast U.S. experienced a rare stretch of severe weather over the weekend that included at least nine tornados touching down that caused major damage.

Tornadoes are very rare for the area and in November. Connecticut saw its first November tornado in 70 years.

Stonington, a small town of about 950 people on the border of Connecticut and Rhode Island, saw a tornado reach 90 mph, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

The National Weather Service confirmed that three EF-0 tornadoes hit Connecticut.

EF-1 to EF-0 tornadoes are considered to be “weaker” tornados but still brought unexpected high winds, excessive amounts of rain and some hail.

“It sounded like a freight train coming through," resident Justin Whalen told WFSB, a CBS affiliate in Hartford, Connecticut. "Down the street was on fire, where the tree had fallen onto the transformers and it was burning that up.”

No deaths or injuries have been reported.

"Saturday's tornado outbreak was a wild event for any month, but especially noteworthy considering it occurred in November," he said. "Usually you think of tornadoes occurring with very warm and humid air in place, but this was not the case Saturday, with highs only in the 60s," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist John Feerick said.
