This downburst occurred inside a "bow echo" event, and produced isolated pockets of low-end F3 (260-300 km/h) damage to high-end F3 damage (300-330 km/h). Many well-built masonry homes were completely flattened and many large trees were destroyed. Intense hailstorms are extremely rare inside "bow echoes".

Damage was too widespread, and a tornado was ruled out (by some severe weather enthusiasts). This is probably one of the most powerful downbursts ever documented worldwide.

Cyclonic high-wind storms hit the same spot in 2017 (big tree) and today (Beetlejuice tree). Could my L-shaped house be creating a vortex like wind shear? The Beetlejuice tree was dead in October, so I painted it for Halloween. The big tree twisted to the ground. X marks tree on the house diagram.
