We’re having steady/gusting winds; although microburst is possible. The NTSB will let us know ASAP!

Microbursts leave absolutely no foot/fingerprints, especially if the pilot doesn’t survive it :( unless the altimeter is logged. I had one when the lake dropped 40ft and the big marina next to me’s docks were up against my dock, a microburst exploded, blowing all my french doors open and people off the marina docks and out of their boats. It was insane, like a bomb going off, dozens of people screaming, then still and quiet 2secs later.

Flipped a full 6-slip marina completely over.
