Full Version: Bridgeport, CT Tornado?
Some video. What ever it was, tornado or microburst, it came on suddenly.
Sounds like a tornado according to this report from the Connecticut Post Newspaper.
Christopher Rosario, assistant special projects manager in the Bridgeport mayor's office, said he was inside the City Hall Annex when the power went out. "We went out the State Street side and watched the funnel cloud form right in front of our eyes," he said..

That looks a lot more like a microburst to me John. Rain wrapped tornados are not common in general and almost unheard of here.

Agree. Looks like a wet microburst aka damaging straight line winds from that 70-75 dbz cell. If there was some rotation of debris at ground level, it may have been a gustnado, which is basically a surface swirling that does not extend up to cloud level.

Yeah no tornado evident in that video.
However, this damage report:
0218 PM TSTM WND DMG 5 WNW BRIDGEPORT 41.20N 73.29W
06/24/2010 FAIRFIELD CT TRAINED SPOTTER
EXTENSIVE TREE DAMAGE IN AREA. TOPS SHEARED OFF SOME
TREES. POWER OUT IN AREA. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE
DEPARTMENT RESPONDING.
Would lead me to believe it was a funnel cloud that didn't touch down (at least where this was reported).
