News report says nobody was hurt. News footage doesn't look like their buildings, but is hard to tell.

One photo is from the corner of 3rd Street ...looking toward the damage
3rd does not look hit ...RJ is at 312 Main Street.

The tattoo shop that got demolished was one block farther west, those old
brick buildings probably don't  give much without crumbling. They have  professional tree
services in today, and are not letting the public into town

The one photo of the tattoo shop seems to show Jim's buildings in the background and they appear intact.

I got some info from our reenactment club. The stores had windows blown out and some structural
damage. As of today, they still don't have electricity.

Glad everyone is OK. Books, I saw that photo of the tattoo shop, and it looked like the River Junction buildings in the background.

I finally got a reply back from Jim. here's what he said, "Petey
We're OK. Store damage, but we are now operational. Tell people to order to help with clean up costs.
Jim"

(he's the only one I allow getting away with calling me "Petey"  That goes back over 40 years.)
