Conn. tornado had winds up to 90 mph

WETHERSFIELD, Conn. (AP) - The National Weather Service says a Connecticut tornado that knocked out power and downed trees lasted three minutes, traveled 1.7 miles and packed winds between 80 and 90 mph.

The agency conducted ground and aerial surveys at Farmington and Wethersfield on Saturday, a day after a narrow twister uprooted trees and flatted cornstalks in a field.

Numerous trees were knocked down and some went right through houses.
