20170520 Violent Straight Line Winds - Squall Line

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Extremely violent straight line winds from a squall line that approaches from the south. While I was filming this the same gust of wind picked a trampoline up from the back of a house down the street and threw it over their house, across the street and into the volleyball net.

    Wait, some people here are skeptical about these being straight line winds? If you ask me, this certainly looks like it exceeds severe status, even if it doesnt cause MASS DESTRUCTION like some people think it needs to have to be considered straight-line. While straight-line winds are no laughing matter, a storm that exceeds severe status is really the only criteria needed for it to be considered straight-lined. Especially at around 2:23

    Yea agreed, and video always doesn't show the real scale. I've serviced those trees out in that ditch for the better part of 10 years and I built that fence myself. The fence posts are 6x6 not 4x4, and they go 4ft into the ground. So what kind of force does it take to snap 4 posts 6x6 solid wood?! It was a lot more force than it looks like!!

    A squall line is a line of severe thunderstorms with high winds, hail, lots of cloud to ground lightning and very heavy rain. These storms also produce tornadoes.

    Nice video... always exciting to see strong storms. But it doesn't look like much more than 50 mph...which is strong, but generally not damaging.

    not sure if these are really are straight-line winds, at least not by NSSL's definition, but if they are you were lucky to be quite far from the point of the microburst or downburst that caused them. if these were confirmed to be straight-line winds then they must've just barely made it past the 50mph minimum. usually winds at that speed -at least- break tree branches and knock over most freestanding objects which i saw little evidence of here.

    In this case it was an air blast caused by outflow displaced by a cloud burst. The squall line itself was indeed a cold front in a volatile atmospheric conditions.

    Mr. TornadoMan215 This is not a tornado. I would have heard the sound of a train and felt the pressure drop. I've been hit with an EF0 and this was not even close to that kind of power. An EF0 would have knocked those buckets over and displaced the columns for that patio covering from their footings and the shed would have been damaged too. I know this because I surveyed the damage when the EF0 hit and that is exactly what I saw.

    Mr. TornadoMan215 Oh yea straight line winds can actually be stronger than an EF0. The upper bound for straight line winds is probably around the level of an EF1....unless your in a hurricane/typhoon situation. I estimate the winds here at about 60mph perhaps gusting to 80mph. That may be a low number but a micro burst like that even at 80mph gust carries a punch like an air blast and that is what snapped those fence posts like match sticks. Tornados also have a punch-air blast but usually quite a bit stronger because of the engine that powers the rotating column of air. (The thing that makes the freight train sound)

    Mr. TornadoMan215 quick side story about air blast, most people don't know that an air blast is what created the massive mile wide meteor crater in Arizona. An air blast also leveled a forest in Yosemite valley when a rock the size of an office building broke off from the cliff El'Capitan and shattered against an out crop of granite turning it into a falling mass of gravel. The mass it the foot of the cliff and the resulting air blast out in front of the mass leveled the forest before the mass of gravel settled.
