I love how the three basketballs group together to observe the damage. The fourth one wants to join but isn't part of their friend group, so he holds back.
If you look closely, you will see that entire end of the building is a stage. So the blast took down that whole section of the building! That's tornado velocity wind.
I literally went to that school and was there the time it happened and all that happened to me was some water that came through a door that was connected outside 😭😭😭
Yes microbursts are just if not more powerful than twister. Even straight line winds can do major damage like a tornado would. I experienced a microburst back in 1990's it lifted big full trashcans up in the air at least 8ft. Before slamming them back down again. The shockwave threw me against the front wall of the house I was at. It also shattered many windows.
@@cerovk6000 Straight line winds are basically any winds from a storm that are not tornadic, i.e dont rotate. The term "straight line winds" comes from the way debris is scattered in straight lines, parallel to the outflow, after those winds damaged something. They are what is responsible for most wind damage from any storm and they are more dangerous than Tornadoes in my opinion because they can be extremely intense and usually hit when you dont expect it.
@@Sharpless2 They are intense and can be as intense as tornadoes, but they are not nearly as life-threatening as stronger tornadoes. I do agree however that they are underestimated and often mistaken for tornadoes!
Microbursts are terrifying. During a storm a few years ago a microburst hit our street. Fortunately no buildings were hit but a 100 meter stretch of trees look like a scythe took them out. It was precision cut - to the extent that one side of the tree looked fine but the other side was sheared off as if giant scissors came down and snipped all the branches leaves etc cleanly on ONE side of the tree. It was crazy.
i love how those three basketballs at 0:40 embrace each other amidst the shock to comfort each other with wishful thinking "it's okay... we can fix this..." "no... it's all gone..."
I saw this video on CNN cover page, but you can't watch videos on CNN. You get slammed with 60 seconds of ads just to hear them "blah blah Oooweee gasp and awe" over 5 seconds of a video loop. Rather search RU-vid and get the full uninterrupted video.
@C R I hate it when you see a headline for a story but instead of a one page article it keeps clicking next page and next page and next page the whole time they just deliberately procrastinate the story and never get the answer to what happened.
@@alexpulsifer783 I tried reading one of those, They piss me off... They procrastinate way too long. Anytime I see something like that happening on the article I am reading, I fucking drop it and go on with my life.
BasketBall1: *Stunned* BasketBall2: "You o.k Wilson?“ BasketBall3:" He isn't saying a word Spalden" Basketball2:"Let's go check on him Baden" Baden and Spalding approach Wilson... Baden the joker says "That was a rush eh Wilson, Blown it off the court with that performance" Wilson: *stunned*
We have Microburst in Arizona very often. It’s an extremely heavy sudden burst of rain fall. Sometimes with thunder and wind, other times just rain. Don’t confuse this to a tornado.
I remember seeing the news reports about this after it happened while on lunch at work under a tornado warning that same day. Those kids are so lucky the roof gave way before the wall did, it gave them something to 'run from' that wasn't an immediate threat to them. Had it happened the other way around, they'd have had no warning something terrible was about ot happen and some of them likely may not have avoided the debris.
I truly thought that big ass hvac looking pipe had hit someone. Took a closer look and was relieved it was just debris that it fell on. I was audibly saying “oh my god oh my god oh my GOD IS HE OKAY?!?” To a piece of roof
A microburst is like a sneeze that nature stops from fully coming out. I can tell you what its like to be in the path of an EF3 in an above ground specialty built storm shelter....its something you'll never forget I can say that...there was pieces of hay stuck in a power pole. An EF5....its wrath that has no limits,and something a person hopes to never be in the way of.
For anyone doubting macrobursts my school’s gym roof was ripped off by one I was the only one who didn’t scream I laughed and said so this is what they meant by renovating the school we got to go home early that day
I know you're joking, Baldi 2, but my mom really was THAT mom. She didn't care if the entire school building had been wiped off the face of the earth, I still had to go lol
Had one hit down directly on top of my house before. It was incredibly loud, sudden, and absolutely terrifying. Tore up some trees, and a neighbors roof, you could see the almost circular level of damage and how my house was the center of where it landed.
Any wall that comes down like that should be replaced with a curved wall and no overhang. Or a break away overhang. Because these storms are coming stronger.
@@SolutionsNotPrayers no kids died dumbass.. . . Thats funny though "Science Only" but you make a baseless claim devoid of fact... you must be a democrat
Years ago I got caught in a micro burst. I was running to my uncle/uncles car in a rainstorm and halfway across our yard, while I was running full tilt, it hit me. It knocked me to the ground and blew down a huge oak tree about 80 feet from me. It actually felt like a huge hand pushing me staright down to the ground. Scared the shit out of me and when I got up and finally reached their car, they said they couldn't see me when it hit. I respect the shit out of these storms now.....
Scary. I was in a 2005 Chevy Cobalt when a microburst hit in 2017. I seriously thought the car was going to go airborne. Fortunately the worst thing that happened was the passenger windows on the car were shattered. Thankfully the window tint kept the glass from going everywhere or else I would have been full of glass in my body.
Fortunately when new tempered windows shatter they break into thousands of tiny pieces so even if you smash your fist straight into it the glass won’t cut you
me:-hears strong wind- me again:RUN my teacher:OI STOP RUNNIN everyone else:-hears strong wind too- the microburst:i feel like ima tornado :)everyone: RUN.
You know those basketballs are thinking about making a run for it through the hole. They are tired of sweaty hands all over them all day so they are going to go find a soccer field somewhere. 😂😂😂
@Hareeb Al-Sahk They have a bunch of flags and banners behind the stage, it looks like a person because its so close to the whiteboard. CNN or ABC said that everyone was able to get out before the microburst destroyed the stage
@@macintozh1986 the equipments that was either destroyed or damaged are very expensive though but except there’s no equipment just a roof damages that need to be repaired
That was a microburst. A giant water burst that a cloud throws out of its body. This could cause destruction of property, and even death. These usually occur after tornadoes or strong storms. Pretty rare
@@Jojo_creations not as rare as you'd want them to be sadly. Yeah they usually happen after the storm cell has already gone over you, but the problem is that you dont know when. Microbursts are very hard to indicate on radar and thats what makes them so dangerous.
My high school gymnastics coach: “ Dammit, I said STICK the dismount! I don’t care if a tornado blows a wall of the gym down, you-don’t-move!” Mother Nature: “Sure Coach…” Me: !!!
We had one of these 2019 lol. Suddenly there was a rumbling and it got dark and trashcans flew by the window up the street. Lasted maybe 30 seconds. Was quite a blast to witness!
