    Microburst event.

    Small glider tow aircraft caught in a microburst. Now that would be scary.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Was that a microburst? looked like clear sky, pretty much - high mountains all around can cause that sort of effect, but this is not a microburst. A microburst is where a mass off air cooled by precipitation drops and spreads when it hits the ground.

    You can get a dry microburst in certain circumstances. However, this could be either a wind change associated with the passage of a front or a microburst...

    Wind like this occurs regularly in springtime in Sydney (when we change to 07/25). It's not uncommon to see all sorts of stuff being blown around the airport in the high winds. Cargo containers are a favourite of mine...
