...NWS Confirms a Total of 3 Tornadoes On August 23 2021 From 
the Remnants Of Henri...

The 3 tornadoes were all small and brief, and produced minimal
damage. As is common with tornadoes associated with tropical
systems, they were not accompanied by any thunderstorms, but
just relatively small showers. All 3 tornadoes were rated EF-0. 
We appreciate the assistance of MEMA along with local Emergency 
Management, Fire and Police officials to help with the survey
process, as well as the public, spotters and amateur radio 
volunteers to provide us with the initial information about
the tornadoes.

.EF-0 Tornado in Bolton Massachusetts...

...Summary...
A small brief tornado touched down, causing minor damage between
roughly 175 and 198 Main Street. One tree was knocked down into
wires, and a large branch was ripped from another tree. It is 
believed that a funnel cloud initially formed a short distance 
to the southeast of where the damage was observed, and as it moved
northwest, it briefly touched down. Radar data indicated rotation
associated with a shower that moved over the area to be very
similar to what was observed with the Marlborough tornado.
