Cape Cod Tornado Leaves Power Outages, Trail Of Damage

Power is expected to be restored for most on Cape Cod by Friday evening after a tornado tore through the region.

The EF-1 tornado with winds as high as 110 miles per hour touched down in Yarmouth just after noon Tuesday and then hit Harwich.

There was also plenty of straight-line wind damage, but no injuries were reported. The National Weather Service hopes to release more details on the path, width and length of the tornado as investigators survey the area.

The agency said the greatest amount of damage was in Harwich, where 90-percent of the town lost power during the storm and a state of emergency was declared there.

The storm brought down trees and power lines in several neighborhoods and even ripped the roof off of the Cape Sands Inn in Yarmouth.
