Vermont’s tornado alley?

Minimal tornado in Chelsea/Williamstown area on Thursday was confirmed by NWS yesterday. Winds were estimated at 55-75 mph, and the path was a quarter mile wide and 2.6 mile long. A hundred plus mostly softwoods were blown down, and one barn roof blown off. There were no injuries.
Of extra interest here- this is Vermont’s second tornado of the year and occurred in roughly the same area as the first (May 9th in the town of Washington).
