"Last night, I noticed that my house was like a big storm, it wasn't that long it just passed by," said Wilbraham resident Max Mayuski. "And then after I looked outside, there were trees down, my front yard was flooded with like limbs and stuff. It was like a little tornado."
"It was her grad party and there was a monsoon that happened," said Wilbraham residents Madeline and McKenna Patterson. "We thought it was going to be a tornado. It was really scary."

Many people were forced to use generators while still without power late into Sunday morning.
"When I was on my way to her house, there were so many trees down," said Monson resident Morgan Kowal "The power lines, when every one was trying to leave the party [and] they couldn't get home. There were like 20-minute detours to their house."
"There was a lot of damage, not to my house, to the lawn and stuff," Mayuski said. "There were limbs everywhere, so this morning my dad had to come out with a chainsaw and clean everything up and we lost power for a few minutes, but it came back on."
National Grid reminds people the estimated time of restoration often reflects when the last customer in the community will have power restored and says it's normal for the numbers to change.
