Get an up-close look at the devastation left by the tornado that tore through Westfield, West Springfield, Springfield, Wilbraham, Monson, Brimfield, Sturbridge, Southbridge and Charlton.
After, and while, an EF-3 tornado sustaining 160-mile-an-hour winds tore a 39-mile path of destruction across Western and Central Massachusetts last month, photographers and reporters from The Republican's newsroom rushed to as many of the affected neighborhoods as possible to record the storm's fury and report on what happened to the people and businesses affected.
As The Republican stated in an editorial published hours after the tornado, "everything changed in a minute."
Now, The Republican is preparing a hardcover book documenting the story of the June 1, 2011 tornado. The 144-page "Path of Fury" provides an up-close and personal look at the historic devastation and restoration in the wake of the tornado that over the course of its unwelcome 70-minute visit caused millions of dollars of damage in in Westfield, West Springfield, Springfield, Wilbraham, Monson, Brimfield, Sturbridge, Southbridge and Charlton.
