    Severe summer weather rolled through parts of New England on Tuesday evening, prompting an array of storm watches and warnings in Massachusetts.

    The National Weather Service issued severe thunderstorm warnings across the region as heavy rain, lightning, and damaging wind gusts wreaked havoc on some communities, leaving thousands without power. At one point, a tornado warning was issued in Hampshire County.

    Many Boston 25 News viewers captured incredible images showing dark, ominous clouds in the sky as the storms rolled through.

    Eric Hulette, of Gardner, shared photos and video of a menacing cloud formation of Crystal Lake.

    Most of those were taken at Crystal Lake in Gardner. I took a photo of the same cloud formation from my 15th floor apartment. I said it reminded me of those usually only seen in the Midwest. Scary Beautiful!
