MUST SEE VIDEO! Possible Tornado, Straight-line Winds, or Microburst! Dothan Alabama Weather

[@jerZchic]

Not sure but this yard setup/landscaping is gorgeous!

[@pcs56]

And that wooden fence. This would make a great promotional video for whoever built it.

[@matthewgregory8218]

I’m not sure why Mother Nature wants to wreck it

[@libertylost8286]

This wasn’t a tornado. The way you can tell us the wind doesn’t change direction. A tornado has wind pulling and sucking as it passes by. You would see the trees bending the direction the tornado was. It could be a derecho.

[@KoId.]

Or literally just a microburst…aka the most common form of straight line winds

[@WesleyAPEX]

Straight line winds. Wind direction never changed and a microburst is much more intense and usually has hail

[@tvold9204]

no it probably is a microburst. Video tends to portray insane wind as high or moderate so at peak the winds are probably near 100 MPH at peak. Peak winds start a little after 0:24.

[@jj2.047]

Gusts near 55-65 mph

[@melancthon2542]

First of all, thank you for using a quality camera. Secondly, thank you for not constantly zooming in and out making it unwatchable. Thirdly, thank you for not talking through the entire weather event. And finally, thank you for not inserting constant "oh my g-d" and endless profanities like so many other weather videos.

Man, you have some *gnarly* weather in US. We in 🇬🇧 complain about ours (it's a national pastime!) but really, we haven't much to complain about compared to this, and hurricanes, tornadoes, derechos, intense heatwaves..... We have had severe flooding events and there's no one I'd wish that on. Keep safe y'all!

[@jonbush1915]

I remember this I live in dothan also and I was in a mobile home at the time. I was for sure it was gonna flip it was rattling and shaking so bad you could hear the plates on the counter rattle also.

[@Hurricane0721]

That's a microburst. You can tell that it's a microburst by looking at the top of the trees. There is a noticeable downward angle to the wind here that presses down the top of the trees. That's normally indicative of a microburst where the wind is actually blowing down to the ground from high up in the atmosphere.

[@MBLRStudios]

This seems to just be some strong straight lined winds.

[@travestygaming1461]

Straight line winds form from a bow echo and happen just before the precipitation. Micro Burst form directly after and parallel to the frontal boundary passing through. Thunderstorms can also cause heavy winds that are not associated with an echo or boundary line.

[@jacquelinej391]

definately NOT a tornado. Winds are up to 100km/h and that is not even hurricane force winds

[@powersaveairlines6019]

jacqueline jacobs those are hurricane force on gusts. Try standing in the field.

[@brody_wx568]

@Mitchell Christie Yes, we know that. This was simply straight line winds. PS: Dont believe everything you see/hear

[@pcs56]

101, 102...whatever it takes.

[@jj2.047]

Gusts 55-65 mph

[@luv2smell]

The collapse of a thunderstorm, downward falling cold air out of a thunderstorm. Wind blowing one direction, not a tornado.

[@TexasTimelapse]

Lance Lee Don't listen to this troll Stacy. You are correct.

[@beebop9808]

What's all the hoohah over a little drizzle? lol Had a strong one here a couple of weeks ago. I caught it right before I made it home. Last intersection before the house I couldn't see through the windshield and just happened to look out of the drivers side when the first real wind burst hit. Rain completely horizontal and the wind hit a huge pecan tree as I looked over. It started to bend and right as you would expect it to bounce back the wind just pushed harder and it kept going. Snapped that baby right off at the ground! Impressive cuz the butt was a solid 24 inches! Just missed the house it sat in front of by about 5 feet. Lucky owner! Cool storm!

[@phantomwolfgames8836]

If it was a tornado, a lot of things would blow away, if it was a microburst, there would've been a lot more downdraft with it.

[@Religious_man]

It's a microburst, for sure. No twistees here.

[@charlesduby4602]

best gust 30secs best overall action about 90secs great trees there always best for wind action takes me back to when I was a kid always into thunderstorms watching the trees

That's one Violent Severe Storm, sustained 50-60mph and those gusts where 70mph +

[@jj2.047]

55-65 mph gusts

[@itsnotthesamething]

We had these same winds in Mobile, most likely the same day. I was too blown away (no pun intended) to think to grab my camera. It was pretty awesome!

[@mrorionfan1]

+itsnotthesamething Had a microburst in Albemarle, NC June 14, 2013 and only one business posted the storm on KZbin that I have seen because it happened so quickly - but I sure got a lot of eyewitness reports of it from friends!!

Looks a lot like the hurricanes we have here in NC. Pretty yard though! Hope you were able to make it look pretty again!

[@TylerBowmanPhotography]

Kimberly Crouch It was amazing! Only one thing in the yard moved!

[@Ri0GenMusic]

Hurricane Florence

[@Voscilate]

I’m not an expert but I believe these are straight line winds because of the upward draft at one point in the video. Also straight line winds are just air that has been pushed away from a storm from the pressure.

[@drone6337]

Why can't there be consistent hurricane footage like this? That would be my goal, film the unending, unrelenting build up and progression of a hurricane from a clutch vantage point. Then, display it to all of you!

Just a good old-fashioned severe thunderstorm. I live in Phoenix and I know. Several questions. Did the lights go out? Also any idea how strong the winds? They look close to 80mph gusts a few times. Must be strong trees there!

Lasted too long for a microburst. Straight line winds but still impressive!

[@julymiller2308]

One direction winds despite the twirling planters. Turns grey for a short period of time a couple of times, yet winds stay only one direction. Conclusion: None of the above. Downburst.

[@fedyasgyatt]

If I saw that. I would have a straight up panic attack

[@ZatsuneMikuWorld]

Here in Brazil this kind of storm is very common especially in the summer. But in this case it was a small microburst. :)

[@PAPERCHASERCH47]

I live in Dothan as well by Lowe's across by Walmart and I tore my yard and privacy fence up so bad. Thank God I have insurance. I believe this was a tornado that came down but didn't actually stay on the ground long. It was awful

I live in dothan and my neighborhood was out of power until early Monday morning at 3 am and my mom just got her power back on last night. I live in a trailer park and a tree fell on one of my neighbors place and quite of other trees fell also lucky no one in the park got hurt just a big mess we are cleaning up. That was scary we just sat down to eat supper and this storm hit out of no where!

[@brittanihodges8144]

Yes it did I agree with you there

[@mattdaddy_888]

Straight line winds are the same thing as a microburst

[@alexlubbers1589]

phoenix az got hit by a storm like that last year and it looked exactly like this! winds gusted up to 100 mph and blew down hundreds if not thousands of large and small trees, knocked out power to 50,000 people, tore off some roofs and sent branches flying into houses, cars, and into swimming pools, caused powerful flash floods and left a huge mess to clean up for weeks to come. it only lasted 15 minutes but it was like a hurricane or a f1 tornado! there was an actual confirmed tornado near glendale az, it was a brief whirl and didnt do much damage but the microburst that followed sure made it hard to tell whether or not the damage was from the tornado or the wind blast.

[@alexlubbers1589]

ill bet. it was a wild afternoon that day.

you dude i live in dothan to dothan high school was out no food or power the power went out today at lunch but good vid man a fellow youtuber in my city awesome

[@west3710]

Could be a small micro burst usually they are stronger than that but could be. Or also could be inflow to a tornado due to same direction winds

[@hasshbrowns8079]

The inflow of a tornado would be quicker than and more stronger than that.

[@avaregister6252]

Yea and to think, I live in Dothan and this isn't even the worst possible weather we have. 2 months ago there was a tornado going through and it came through our backyard. 1 week later there was one downtown but it was an f2. Frickin scary crap in late winter/early spring...

[@avaregister6252]

yes it touched down

[@ashleymarie5359]

+AvaBay I remember that one I live close to the court house and I was in the bathroom crying

[@tiredaf81]

Hazard (If it was long lasting): Severe Thunderstorm Warning

[@hebneh]

In this case, a picket fence is a lucky choice. You can see a number of other backyard videos of microbursts in which solid wood fences are slammed to the ground in a flash.

[@kevinvanderpoole293]

A side note... There are so many videos of the winds, storms, hail, tornados from across the plains states... looking at life a hundred or so years ago... the people out there were just nailing things together for a shelter/house... like Little House on the Prairie... you gatta wonder how often people ended up rebuilding their shelters each year.

[@RRIA_America]

It was a microburst. If all damage and wind go the same did reaction it's microburst.

[@uniquelydezined-artistkath7425]

Yes in the beginning, when it was quiet, the trees gave no indication of moving in a left direction which would be when they pull towards a tornado because the wind is so strong BEFORE it even gets there. It can tear apart buildings and then be chopped up and strewn about after the actual tonado hits that area.

[@BlackRedsStormSpotter]

This is a SUPERCELL!!!

[@thebroterraguy9990]

Definately looks like a straight line winds signature but very very good quality video!!!

[@chriswhit18cw]

This was a stron microburst. The winds were blowing one way the whole time.

[@hasshbrowns8079]

In a microburst, the winds are downward. However, outside of a microburst where the winds spread out after hitting the ground, THAT'S where the straight-lined winds are. They also go out in different directions, the microburst doesn't spread the winds out in one particular direction.

[@disturbeddemons1]

microburst w/ straight line winds. A tornado would've pulled your planters and trees up

[@sockshandle]

Depending actually on if the planters are anchored into the ground and the intensity of the tornado for example tornadoes like EF0 will only blow the leaves off the trees and unanchored light material like building materials not yet used and furniture on the porch

That was straight line wind or a microburst.
