Microburst

So! As a weather enthusiast, I thought I'd share the following conjecture.

Judging by the damage pattern I saw walking around this hour, and the fact that in neighboring towns (other than Medford) they just had heavy rain and thunder but no wind damage, I'd say we just experienced a microburst. The kind of storm that kills planes.

I definitely agree, it was a wet microburst. It also affected Lexington, Belmont, Somerville.
