Microbursts

Microbursts is a mesoscale meteorological phenomenon characterized by a localized, intense downdraft of air that rapidly descends from a thunderstorm and spreads outward horizontally upon surface impact, producing damaging straight-line winds over an area less than 4 kilometers in diameter.
