Tropical Storm Isaias is moving into northern Maine and Canada after it brought several strong thunderstorms that led to four tornado warnings. There are pockets of damage all over the state from damaging wind gusts.
The storms began pushing through Tuesday morning and continued through the afternoon and evening.
The first tornado warning was issued for Cheshire and Sullivan counties around 9:30 a.m. Three additional warnings were issued -- for parts of Cheshire, Hillsborough and Sullivan counties -- between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. They all were allowed to expire or dropped altogether. There was one report of a funnel cloud near Jaffrey, but no reports of a tornado touchdown.
Strong winds topping 50 mph caused tree damage and thousands of power outages. On top of Mount Washington there was a wind gust of 147 miles per hour, which breaks an all time record for strongest gust in the month of August.
The winds will be breezy through the overnight and into Wednesday, but the skies clear.
Wednesday will be partly cloudy with high temperatures in the 80s.
