Reported Death from the storm in Epsom
from the Union Leader
"Updated, 2:48 p.m. After intense midday storms and "possible tornadoes" hit eastern New Hampshire.Gov. John Lynch has declared a state of emergency in Merrimack, Strafford, Belknap, Carroll and Rockingham counties. Emergency crews are responding to heavy damage caused by a line of storms from Deerfield and Epsom northeast through Barnstead to Wolfeboro and Alton. One person is confirmed dead near Northwood Lake in Epsom."
It was very strange here in Gilford. I don't remember ever hearing thunder like the type I heard today. Long, long, long rumbles.. 20-30 seconds. Maybe it was just echoes off the mountains? But even stranger was no lightning. I've always used the old "1 mississippi" trick to figure out how close a storm is. I would have run out of "mississippi's" today.
