A week ago today, a tornado cut a swath of destruction through central New Hampshire. In the seven days since the twister touched down, the National Weather Service revised upward its assessment of the storms density. Meteorologists are now saying the storm was on the ground for about an hour and 20 minutes and moved nearly 50 miles through the state. John Cannon is a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray Maine.
