A cluster of severe storms produced a macroburst over the city of Springfield, Massachusetts Saturday evening. Macrobursts form the same way as the more common microbursts, but are larger area-wise ( greater than 2.5 miles wide). This spreads the severe damage over a greater area. #MAwx

Because I'm lucid enough now to report this - I spent the weekend laid up in bed sick and all throughout Saturday, my feed was either just posts of damage from Springfield after the macroburst or a Northampton school committee retreat that apparently went to hell when non-committee members attended?

Comparing 2 the last 2 significant severe weather events. There was a brief tornado on July 5, but the 3 mile-wide macroburst caused the biggest problems. Tuesday's tornado was a bit weaker and not nearly as wide as the macroburst. It very photogenic!

Maybe not a proper tornado, but I was in the middle of the 2010 macroburst in Forest Hills! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Br...

See my "Geeks" video from earlier this evening for a discussion of the July 5 event. It would have been preferable to have a longer-lived tornado and no macroburst. The damage would have been in a 1/2 mile wide path and not 3+ miles wide. Arrow shows tornado path.

It was a macroburst. 80mph winds. She's fine, kept her electricity, and house, and car, but everyone else has nothing.

The NWS in Cleveland says storms near Youngstown this past weekend produced an EF-1 tornado and a "macroburst." What's a macroburst? Air rushes down from the thunderstorm, hitting the ground, spreading outward over a large area. It's estimated that this macroburst downed nearly a 1000 trees. #ohwx
