just found a youtube on aftermath of Hurrincane in my town

Just found out today that apparently we had a "micro burst" which is basically a tornado touching down and then disappearing again in my town with similar areas of devastation at the end of my road that runs into this road.  Scary to think how close we actually were to what could have developed into tornado.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but a micro burst is not a tornado.   A micro burst is a sudden down draft of straight lined winds.  It does cause damage like a tornado though.  I had one in my town in '95.

ok, so the person who told me this in our town was half right!
