WATCH: 'Storm Was No Joke' As Video Shows MA Tornado's Wrath

A beer garden took a beating during the Aug. 4 tornado that touched down in Webster. Watch the video captured on surveillance.

WEBSTER, MA—An EF-1 tornado was confirmed to have landed in Central Massachusetts last weekend. The clean-up effort continues on the Worcester County towns of Webster and Dudley, where the streets were inundated with storm damage.

No major injuries were reported, but at least one person suffered minor injuries when debris hit the vehicle they were in, according to Webster Fire Chief Brian Hickey.

Three buildings, including one mixed-use with residents, have been condemned, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency confirmed. Approximately 43 were displaced as a result of the storm, though several were able to return after one damaged building was deemed habitable. The Red Cross is on scene.

Much of the damage occurred along Main Street in Webster, which is close to the Dudley town line. Dudley suffered significant tree damage, but no major structural damage has been reported.

The Kretschmann Brewery and Beer Garden was among those in the path of the twister, and this surveillance video that the establishment posted on its Facebook page captures the destruction. In the three-minute video, the wind picks up picnic tables and shreds a tent. Somehow, the flag of Poland and USA survived.
