QUOTE QUOTE That New Ulm thing was pretty crazy. I checked into it and it sounds like what they call a microburst. Whatever it is, I hope we don't get them again.
After seeing that footage - Maybe my 70 MPH estimate of the single burst last night was a bit high. lol It takes quite a bit of force to knock out a side window in a car. And those 400 pound air conditioners, wow. There was supposed to have been bent flag poles or something too. But I didn't see those, though. Nonetheless what an event. Thanks for the video. Great contribution to the thread. You redeemed yourself, somewhat. lol The sound on my computer wasn't working last night, so I didn't get to hear that video I posted until just now. It was much better with sound! Wow, scary stuff. I feel sorry for anyone who got caught in that while driving. Hymie, I wasn't being mean when I said "don't be skeered" I was just playin buddy. I apologize if you thought I was being mean. Do not call me buddy, ever! I'm not 3 years old. And you are not my mommy! Okay? Do you understand?
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!!

Microbursts can at times have the same effect as a weak EF1 tornado. They are usually caused by storms imploding on themselves, thus causing the sudden downburst of wind. I can see how those winds could have caused damage.
The one burst of wind and boom of thunder was testament of how fast it was moving...it came in around 50 mpgh, and left us at 65mph. Odd, but normal.

I once had a thought...then it ran off before I could remember what it was...

Good point ControlledHyperness it was moving in lickety-split fashion. And yet it still it managed to wreak havoc in that brief time.
As evidenced by things like this:
QUOTE Workers clean up a cottonwood that fell Sunday along the paved trail near Brookside Education Center. The tree fell as a result of strong winds. The Albert Lea airport reported sustained winds of about 25 mph around 5 p.m. A gust at 8:53 p.m. reached 39 mph. --
I wonder if this wasn't somehow related to the winds as well:
QUOTE More than 500 Albert Lea Alliant Energy customers were without power Monday afternoon after two of the company’s power lines were damaged.
Alliant Energy spokesman Justin Foss said the lines were reported damaged on the 300 block of Second Street — just south of The Children’s Center — at about 2:20 p.m.
He was not sure which blocks or streets were affected; however, officers at the Freeborn County Government Center indicated the facility was running on generators for a portion of the afternoon.
Foss said he guessed the lines had been pulled together by some trees, causing them to burn.
Power was expected to be restored by early evening.
Two other unrelated outages were also reported Monday. Foss was also unsure about the cause of those outages.

No, I'd call it more of a parody. The term hymie is racist.

Then that would make hymie an offensive religious person?
