Three Rare November Tornadoes Strike State

The National Weather Service says three tornadoes struck Rhode Island on Saturday night.

A line of storms that moved quickly through Southern New England spawned the twisters.

An EF-one tornado that went from Stonington, Connecticut to Westerly reportedly lifted trampolines out of backyards into power lines in both towns.

The weather service said there were also two EF-zero tornadoes, one with a path from North Kingstown to Wickford and the other from Plainfield, Connecticut to Foster.

Officials say one of the reasons that we may have seen rare November Tornadoes is because it has been warmer than usual and the season became longer.

No deaths or injuries were reported.
