I starts to get interesting when the Power Poles go down.
I lived most of my adult life in Oklahoma (I live in New Mexico now) and I have seen my share of downed Trees and Telephone Poles.
(even here in New Mexico we get Derechos that will amaze you).

Also when a derecho comes through, you can get incredible winds, have seen bursts of over 101 mph. When a thunderstorm collapses, you can get some strong winds, too. Excellent.

Unfortunately, no. 10 years ago there wasn't the number of remote weather (personal) stations there are today. I'd guess the wind was in the ball park of 100+. When I noticed the poles bent at 90 degrees with my left eye, I would imagine they were over 100. I've never seen or imagined a power pole could do that.

Do you remember what they clocked the winds at in that microburst? Must've been pretty intense..wouldn't blame you if you had left a load in your pants I know I sure would have.

I nearly did. Also, right after they did go down, you'll notice the camera gets a little shakey. That's not because of my nerves, it was because the car was rocking so bad I couldn't hold it still. Thanks for the comment.

Due about 2 months ago Concord, NC had a terrible microburst. The skies were black and there were 70+ mph winds!! It was crazy.
