Maine rarely gets supercellular tornadoes. It certainly looks like the severe cell now moving through Oxford County is tornado capable if not already threatening. My WeatherTAP radial velocity scans seem to show a significant couplet now passing near Norway, ME, toward my post-high school year alma mater Hebron Academy. My skills and resources for doppler analysis are limited, however....

Level 7 TVS just went up on this at 21:14Z. TW at 21:16. Appears to be right-moving out of the TW polygon and cycling at 21:24. The towns of Lewiston/Auburn are downrange in the next 15 minutes or so.

Yes that is a very impressive supercell NW of Lewison and I would not be surprised if a tornado is on the ground considering the isolated region. I have an uncle that lives just north of Lewiston near Wales and it looks to cross very close to his house.
 
Yep, been watching that supercell cross VT, NH and now ME... And I was up in northeastern VT just this morning! Just got back to CT about an hour ago, but saw nothing much during the 4 hour drive home. The whole area is under a tornado watch, but unfortunately I have commitments that preclude any serious chasing today. I agree that thing looks like a textbook tornado producer on radar at the moment - very rare for New England to see such a perfectly shaped supercell.
 
it might be me or does it look like it has an impressive hook now
