See photos trace the path of the twister from its first touchdown in Westfield, through West Springfield, Springfield and Wilbraham.
The Republican staff photographer John Suchocki returned to the air on Wednesday to capture new images of the destruction left by the EF3 tornado that left a 39-mile scar across Springfield and nearby cities and towns in Western and Central Massachusetts on June 1.
These photos trace the path of the twister from its first touchdown in Westfield, through West Springfield, Springfield and Wilbraham. Suchocki's photos show entire city blocks and neighborhoods devastated by the storm, and the status of clean-up efforts one week later.
Suchocki is preparing another photo gallery, from the same trip, of photos taken over the terribly hard-hit towns of Monson and Brimfield, as well as Central Massachusetts towns beyond. That gallery will be posted on Friday.
