A tornado that touched down Friday in Norway and traveled northeast for 16 miles before dissipating in Hartford near the intersection of Route 219 and Church Road, apparently hadn’t weakened enough when it hit this cabin.
These “oak trees are 12 to 20 inches in diameter and were twisted like pretzels,” said Ralph Dunn in an e-mail. The National Weather Service in Gray rated the tornado as EF-1 on the Enhanced Fugita Scale with maximum winds estimated between 100 and 110 mph.
The high winds pushed this cabin in Hartford six feet off of its cement foundation, Dunn reported. This was the sixth confirmed tornado in Maine in 2009. Maine normally averages two tornadoes a year, according the the National Weather Service.
