When I lived with my parents, their house was on the outer edge of a microburst. It was so cool watching the wild wind. We just stood on the sheltered porch like dumbasses, watching it all in awe. It's by far one of the coolest weather things I've ever seen. We had no idea it was a microburst. We just thought it was crazy wind. After everything calmed down, we drove around and found that the next town over was absolutely demolished and the beginning of my parents' neighborhood had bad damage. That's when we realized how dumb we were just hanging out outside during the storm. My parents' house was totally fine btw, aside from the trashcans getting blown away.
