SPRINGFIELD, MA (WGGB/WSHM) - Thursday marked 12 years since an EF-3 tornado ripped through western Massachusetts from Westfield to Charlton. The tornado touched down at 4:17 p.m. in Westfield where damage was minor, but but it then moved into West Springfield, intensified, and crossed over the Connecticut River. A moment of silence will be held on the front steps of Springfield city hall at 4:38 p.m. to mark the time that the tornado passed through the city back in 2011. ABC40 was on the air as an EF-3 tornado tore a path of destruction through parts of western Massachusetts and we were there as communities worked to rebuild.
