It's really amazing how violent microbursts can be and how quickly they can go from rainstorm to raging hurricane! It's a good thing they only last a few moments.
@@AZDC99 eh, I don’t agree with that. The storms in Florida are pretty tame compared to microbursts in AZ. Besides hurricanes of course. Plus Phoenix feels earthquakes from basically every surrounding state.
had one here in Warwick UK a couple of Tuesday's ago.Geez it was mental destroyed stuff in the gardens mad lightning and 3 inches of water in 5 minutes.Loads of people thought it was a twister,but the intense rain was totally horizontal!
Microbursts can be deadly like a tornado or hurricane. My neighborhood and a few other nearby neighborhoods were experiencing 100 mph wind gusts, and just 2 miles away there wasn’t any damage at all. Microbursts are 2.5 miles or less in diameter.
I got to watch one from my dad's house in Desert Hot Springs. NE corner of town, up the hill about 1,000 feet above the valley floor, looking across to Palm Springs. When the rain bomb hit the ground everything south of DHS proper disappeared. Just this gray sheet of water and plenty of lightning. Perfectly calm where we were, and just a mile south on Palm Drive it was like this video. And yes, it was in August of 2005. 116° out, temp dropped about 30° when that microburst hit.
starts vid...."hey this isnt a microburst, can still see 20 feet down the way so just some intense straight line winds......" Proceeds to continue until about 3 minutes in then says "Ohhhh, yep that would be one hella crazy microburst."
What microburst? All I saw was strong winds pushing heavy rain, and drops of water on their lens. A microburst is tons of water slamming straight down unto the earth from the clouds...
Fantastic video! I grew up across the street from those apartments.. was driving around Dobson Rd and I was wondering why I saw so many branches everywhere
In 1978 I was caught in a microburst in Custer’s State Park. We were at one of the highest areas of the park and had just got in our big Ford Torino when the storm hit. The car was pummeled by hailstones and we thought the car was going to flip over. And then it was gone. As quickly as it started. When we drove back through town, we saw that a semi truck trailer had been pushed into the window of a restaurant.
The term ‘microburst’ is puzzling. There is nothing ‘micro’ about this phenomenon. Why do they last so long if they are just a temporary downdraft of cold air? They seem to be driven by a long-lasting mechanism with sustained effects.
The term "microburst" is used because its effects are so localized. Most of these microbursts are barely a mile wide; it's just the outflow from them that makes it so intense on the ground. Pour water from a bottle onto the ground and you see how fast and how far the water spreads outward when it hits the ground, all from a column of water barely a quarter inch in diameter. Same concept.
A microburst is totally different, trust me. Just experienced my third this year on the south coast. The sound of the wind is like being in a hurricane which I’ve been in previously. It just drops on you. Like being at full spin inside a washing machine, going in all directions. Terrifying noise, we got 2 inches of rain in 5 minutes, plus hail. And I used to live in Glasgow, and in their wettest winter on record lol, so trust me, I can tell the difference. Sadly got outside so had no chance to video.
Thanks for braving the winds. Not fun to be stuck in. But it's over before it begins. Leave the hurricanes and earthquakes to the Floridans and Californians, ha ha

AZ over CA or FLA any day

@@cz180p isn’t that what he just said though? Arizona over Florida or California?
@Alboito Einstinio I don’t see how we were agreeing tbh.
@Alboito Einstinio no he was saying they have weaker storms, which is why he would take Arizona over Florida any day

That's a really strong micro the guest has to been up around the 100KM mark
Yep, every year around August we get one of these here in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.
Haven’t had one in Mecca soo looks like we are good lol
We need some kind of rain not this but been sunny hot and humid for to long
@@allensaunders449 You are so Right Allen, Far too long. My apt. has bee flooded twice from these kinds of storms.

And this midwestern is like a little windy today
The only rain Arizona gets
Bru northern az gets tons of snow and Phoenix gets some storms throughout summer and winter
I remember this one. Next day power company replacing or repairing downed power pole after downed power pole.

Wow nice footage
One of a hell of a microburst, damn was strong!
Sustained winds of 30 mph with a peak gust of 45-50 mph at this location
These estimates are based off wind speeds (10m aboveboard the ground or 33 ft)
Omg that microburst make a car alarm go off
What was the temperature like that day ? Was it cooler after the storm ?
Wow!!! That wind had to be blowing at least 80mph!!
Wow great footage. Definitely some 100mph gusts in there.
I wouldn't quite say 100mph, not in the video at least. Definitely at least 50-60, and one news site is saying there were gusts up to 70mph.
IstasPumaNevada Yeah probably more like 70mph in the video. Maybe up to 85-90 in brief gusts.

RAIN IN ARIZONA?! (I live here) OMG WE HAVENT HAD RAIN IN AGES WHA-
No shit. I was less than I mile from here when this happened and I was actually right at this exact apartment last night. Freaky.
Microbursts are like a five minute hurricane.
Ya True
Fantastic video! I grew up across the street from those apartments.. was driving around Dobson Rd and I was wondering why I saw so many branches everywhere
Now phoenix hasnt had a real storm ever since 2018 hellla drought Monsoon used to be lit now it is DRY
I live in a mobile home in north Phoenix and this kind of storm scares the hell out of me.

Had one in Utah years back that completely flattened the length of a wooden fence in my backyard. Came out of nowhere.
This is where the phrase, “it’s raining sideways!” comes from ;) Only in Arizona!

This microburst
Microbursts are like mini-compact local hurricanes... certainly looks like one. Thanks for the video - hope nothing of yours was damaged!
I remember that one in Phoenix Arizona I live off of 16th St. and Glendale phoenix Arizona we have some crazy weather at home or even earthquakes
Some one tell me why Arizona have so much of Fucking Microbust?
Wow, that was intense!!
I have seen many vids of these powerful micro bursts on ytube and it seems AZ definately has some of the worst.
Another video is here: th-cam.com/video/posjH6TzTOo/w-d-xo.html

Really it's amazing while I saw this I sleep
Where's the microburst?
All I saw was a storm that is called a Derecho storm
These are the type of storms pilots fear the most. It's reasonable.
It's supercell hp
I though Phoenix had 🌵

WHOA. That is nuts!
Sounds like tornado winds
Yikes!
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
I bet they cool things right off, tho!
Only for a minute. Then you get stuck with 110°F + 100% humidity and it’s worse than if it was just the dry heat
looks like an average day in the UK

sked no it doesn’t you idiot
No it doesn't, you liar.
An average day in the UK is a light drizzle.
and this is why planes crash when they encounter a microburst when trying to land..almost nothing they can do about it.
