"Like a war zone:" Tornado shown touching down in Uxbridge in new video footage
A new video shows the moment when a tornado landed on Uxbridge over the weekend, tearing the roof of a local brewery in the process. The
footage was captured by multiple cameras mounted on a Tesla parked outside the Second Wedge Brewery on Victoria Street.
Saturday afternoon, when the EF2 tornado first landed in the area, it shows that the sky is darkening rapidly. Cameras located at the rear of the vehicle show that strong winds initially hit a tent located outside the brewery, tearing the canopy and bending the metal frame.
Then, within seconds, a stream of debris, including what appears to be insulation from trees and brewery roofs, begins to pass through shots taken with a forward-looking camera.
