That makes sense. The rapid increase in wind speed would be typical of either a tornado or microburst. Of course, hurricanes usually spawn tornados — I’m not so sure about microbursts.

I was in a microburst once and it looked just like that... moderate gusts at first making the trees sway ...then all the sudden the trees laid over flat, as if on command, and instead of just tree branches flying... it was privacy fencing.
