Micro and macro-bursts, straight-line winds, collapsing storms, etc. I ask for this because we need to know exactly what happened. The info you send me is analyzed by us and the NWS. Some folks will say will say it had to be a tornado which isn’t always the case. We just want to know for sure. Help us to help you understand what happened.
