After the Storm, Tornado, Microburst: Really Weird Sky

In reviewing some clips on my camera, i found these two very short videos of the sky after the microburst on Friday the 13th, 2010. People i know personally told me they SAW a tornado; between the campus and the East side shopping areas. The weather folk call it a Microburst, which i guess i don't know what that actually means, but i saw evidence of a tornado as well.

Here are the two clips: beautiful and strange. You can watch on youtube for a Big View.
