That's frightful. We had a microburst in Maplewood, NJ, where I lived, in 2008. It was three blocks from my home. The street also had a lot of stately old trees, all destroyed. It looked like a war zone. My understanding is that a micro burst is sort of like an upside down tornado. A tornado goes in and up, whereas a micro burst goes down and out. And no, nothing micro about it.
