Does Maine get tornadoes? You bet.

Fortunately, no one was killed

We obviously don't experience them nearly as regularly as "tornado alley" in the middle of the country, but we actually get our fair share of severe storms right here in Vacationland.

Saturday August 5th a pair of tornados touched down in northern Maine according to the National Weather Service in Caribou, and the video proof from the Maine Forest Rangers on Facebook. The tornado formed along a line of non-supercell thunderstorms and traveled through the forest Grindstone...

With a violent tornado outbreak in the South and Midwest this week, it's probably a good thing to remember: while they're really rare, tornadoes can happen right here in Maine, too.

If this isn't one of the scariest videos you've ever seen - you just might be crazy. It's like something straight outta the beginning of Cloverfield or something.

Watch two videos of the funnel cloud from the National Weather Service in Caribou.

The National Weather Service Office in Caribou is investigating after reports of a possible tornado touching down in Fort Kent over the weekend.

We're pretty lucky here in the state of Maine that all we really have to deal with is cold, ice, power outages, and other survivable events. Our hearts go out to those in 'tornado alley,' especially in Pilger, Nebraska where two twisters touched down simultaneously yesterday.
