Here is my video from yesterday's weather event.  Several pulse-supercell thunderstorms tracked across the western and central portion of the state through mid-afternoon producing damage to trees and power lines.   Two such storms tracked south-southwest to the north-northeast late morning-early afternoon.  One of which produced tornadoes just south of NYC.

Though tornado warned in Danbury, I saw nothing that seemed to be a tornado. However, there are some tell-tale features such as several possible rotating lowered bases (mesocylcones) and plenty of quick, rising SCUD.   The video also includes a time lapse at the end as the squall line, or what was left of it, moved through the area.
