Could a microburst damage your roof and landscaping!
Dude that's a picture of a cloudburst
I am now so much denser and dumber after listening to this
This is a great and educational video! You did so well explaining what microburst, macrosburst, dust devils are that anyone at almlst any age w I would be able to understand along with the help of the great visuals. I would LOVE to use this video in my Earth science class.
I lived in Pittsburgh, PA for almost 2 yrs before moving back to Jersey City, NJ 10 yrs ago and within those 2 yrs of living in Pittsburgh myself, my daughter, and my ex lived through quite a fee microburst storms and 2 really bad macrobusts. Before living there I had no clue what micro and macroburst storms even were (I dont think we really get them in Jersey City, NJ) and the fact I was only like 24. They are terrifying though, especially macroburst storms. The strong winds and the howling the wind makes, the quarter size hail, the lightening, flooding, and of course loosing power (the one macroburst storm that hit Pittsburgh in either 2010 or 2011 we lost power for almost a week because the there was just so much damage to everything). I never really understood what made micro and macroburst storms different from a tornado as thr damage and winds are pretty similar, of course without the funnel. Butnthis video and others I have seen in the past have done an amazing job to explain the difference. Also, Dust devils are pretty cool to witness. I have seen 1 or 2 in NJ growing up, but I would usually see them more in Pittsburgh after a micro or macroburst storm. Until now I had no clue they went hand in hand!
very very good illustrations
Fantastic educational resource with a fantastic teacher!
Tucson is all excited about a sunset outflow boundary that blew across the city yesterday and now "the temperature went from 105F to like 90F in a millisecond, I SWEAR!!" is a hot (no pun intended) topic around town.
(Hi from your home state! 👋🤠🌵🫔, assuming you're still with KHOU and will ever see this.)
Despite their relative frequency, downbursts don't seem to be all that well known around the state. This video is the perfect tool for teaching Central & Southern Arizona (summer) residents about phenomenons that they've almost certainly been both in the midst off and observed from a distance (though, the Southern AZ haboobs tend to be underwhelming to the degree that they often go unnoticed by anyone who didn't suddenly find themselves sandblasted!)
Similar North American monsoon season statements frequently overheard in Arizona:
"One second I still had a roof, and the next second I didn't! It was the wildest thing! I can't wrap my mind around how that even happened! Dios mio! Only the creators know, I guess."
And we can't forget the less frequent, but common enough:
🧓🏽 Look at this damage! there must have been a tornado!! 🙅🏻♀️ Not possible! Tornadoes can't form around mountains. 👩🏾🦱That's not true! There was literally a tornado here [insert date of most recent landspout]! 🧓🏽 Exactly! I vividly remember that deadly tornado that happened near the mission in the 60s… or was it the 70s?? The 90s?? Maybe the 50?? You kids can just Google it. Anyway, this damage is tornado damage!! An F 3.8 on the Fuju apple scale, I reckon!
enjoyed that
Awesome class ! Thanks, Ronald.
Instead of touching the screen you should debate using voice commands. Blended into the report. Then wa lah … The next screen pops up.
