New Hampshire's Killer Tornado

I was five minutes away from intersecting with this tornado. This is the slimmed-down video of its aftermath. The rain and thunder storm in the beginning is part of the cell that spawned the twister, which landed in Deerfield and carved a path down RT 107 in Epsom. The tornado turned east and tore through Northwood Meadows, then went on to Barnstead, where I heard it destroyed another home. I heard that a woman died and four others required hospitalization. Residents were bused out rapidly. The video shows the Northwood Meadows destruction, and later, rescue and service crews on South 107.

Rescue and emergency crews were amazing.
