This would be all over the news if this was an actual tornado.

Amsterdam one right now is being investigated.

Nobody at work had any problems with this one and a few of them live in Turd Trailer Park.

The crackhead said it wasnt a tornado.

You underestimate the news and their desperation for a story.

Story about 2 or 3 tornadoes throughout upstate is a lot more sensational than just one hitting Amsterdam.

At the moment it seems it wasn’t a tornado, just very strong winds.

you could be right, and im not going to keep going around in circles arguing about it.

however I was there for the mechanicville one. Me and my parents sat on our front porch in round lake and watched/heard it. During the one that was going through mechanicville, another one came down in the middle of round lake for 20 seconds or so, then went back up. Funny how news coverage didnt get that one either.

im not saying it was a “twister” situation. Obviously the thing didnt stay planted long enough to leave a path. However I dont see how “strong winds” just do damage in one specific path… If it was a case of just strong winds, wouldnt the damage be much more wide spread??

think about it.

> A gustnado is a short-lived, shallow surface-based vortex which forms within the downburst emanating from a thunderstorm. The name is a portmanteau of "gust front tornado", as gustnadoes form due to non-tornadic straight-line wind features in the downdraft (outflow), specifically within the gust front of strong thunderstorms. Gustnadoes tend to be noticed when the vortices loft sufficient debris or form condensation cloud to be visible although it is the wind that makes the gustnado, similarly Th...

Downbursts do a hell of a lot more damage than that, and it almost looks like a bomb went off.

I saw an island on LG the morning after a bunch of nasty storms, and apparently there was a downburst/microburst right on the island, there were maybe 10-15 trees left standing, all of the big ones were laid out like a bomb went off right above the island. Crazy shit.

Downbursts and gustnados seem to be related.
