What the National Weather Service wrote

The Manomet Current reported three waterspouts formed just offshore at 4:06pm EDT and then moved quickly onshore at White Horse Beach, resulting in minor damage. The damage was minimal. A window that cranks open was ripped off its hinges and shattered and a beach umbrella and a few awnings were damaged. Wind speeds were likely less than 65 mph (the minimum wind speed of an EF0 tornado).

The wider storm

A cold front moving through a very warm, moist airmass over Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts resulted in showers and thunderstorms. Many of these storms became severe, producing damaging winds and large hail.

Began near Manomet Point (41.9423, -70.5653).
