A line of violent thunderstorms tore across Massachusetts, including the Boston area, Tuesday afternoon.
The severe thunderstorms that left a trail of wind damage and hail across Massachusetts slammed metro Boston between 4 and 4:30 p.m. EDT. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency reported that more than 10,000 customers were without power across the state.
There have been reports of multiple downed trees and hail that ranged from 1 to 2 inches in diameter.

Thunderstorms on both Sunday and Monday turned deadly with the most recent deaths occurring when a tent collapsed in New Hampshire, killing two people.
The front will finally clear the Northeast's coast by Wednesday, sweeping away the severe weather threat and high humidity. The I-95 corridor will still remain on the warm side, while the interior gets a taste of September.
One photographer was able to film the pellets of hail falling in slow motion.
