LYNN – All eyes may have been focused on Revere, but residents near the Riverworks in Lynn were not immune from the damage caused by a tornado Monday morning.”I’ve been following the news, and it said it was only Revere, and I had to laugh,” Rith Prum, 28, of Rear River Street said.A maple tree lay on Prum’s family home, poking a hole in the roof and knocking out windows. His car was covered in branches and leaves.”The vehicle totally took the worst of it,” Prum remarked.The National Weather Service said a tornado with winds reaching 120 miles per hour touched down from 9:32 to 9:36 a.m. Monday in Chelsea and Revere. The tornado left a path of debris, downed trees and power lines and damaged buildings that extended two miles long and 3/8 of a mile wide.The first damage was reported on Dudley Street in Chelsea, and the twister traveled across the Chelsea River, following Broadway/Route 107, and damaging Revere City Hall, homes, stores and trees. The storm stopped just north of American Legion Highway at routes 60 and 107 at Brown Circle, according to the weather service.But at least one neighborhood in Lynn also experienced damaging winds. Tree boughs and damaged property marked streets to the northwest of Western Avenue between Honey Dew Donuts and Riverworks Credit Union. “It started downpouring, and then it started sucking air all around,” Keith Orcione said Tuesday. Orcione and several colleagues were renovating a home at 91 River St. on Monday when he said he saw the sky go dark. The workers huddled in the kitchen and didn’t know what was happening as they felt air being sucked in and out of the open windows in the home and saw debris flying around outside, Orcione said.He said a flagpole that now no longer stands down the street showed the wind heading east to west and that, following the winds, there was “water everywhere.”The home they were renovating was undamaged.”It was like there was a shield on it, an umbrella,” Orcione said.But the tree in the backyard fell onto the Prums’ property.National Weather Service Meteorologist Joe Dellicarpini said the damage resulted from a microburst, several of which were reported in Lynn and came from the same storm system as the tornado.Dellicarpini described a microburst as “kind of a fancy term for wind damage over a small area.” Whereas a tornado lifts up debris and spins it around, a microburst is a downrush of winds from a thunderstorm, according to Dellicarpini. He said the microbursts in Lynn occurred after the tornado itself had lifted, and microbursts are defined as affecting an area smaller than 2 ? miles.But a microburst can also wreak havoc.”A lot of times the damage can be as significant as from a tornado,” Dellicarpini said.City Department of Public Works Commissioner Andy Hall said crews responded to damage located primarily in a swath beginning in the River, Camden and Margin streets area. The path of damage then went across the General Electric field to Barry Park, headed east to the former GE Factory of the Future, damaging Abbot, Woodman, Fuller and Cottage streets.Trees were also down on Washington Street, Hall said, and crews worked into the evening to remove trees and limbs.Hall reminded residents that the “stump dump,” the Commercial Street facility for yard waste, is open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday. A valid identification showing residency in Lynn is required to use the facility.In addition to damage to his car and home, Prum’s fence was pulled up by uprooted trees. A maple tree had crushed his neighbor’s fence along the road, and another maple on the small, dead-end street looked like it had been trimmed with a weedwhacker.Hearing and feeling the house shake with the wind and then looking at the unearthed fence and uprooted trees, Prum said he even thought it might have been an earthquake in addition to a severe rainstorm.He said he spent Tuesday talking with insurance providers and now has to figure out how to fix the damage. But he said it’s been
