A number of years ago, a ham buddy by the name of Frank was near downtown Denver.
He pulled over, as he spotted a funnel cloud. A few minutes later, a "micro down-burst".
Followed by hail that made his white work van look like a dimpled golf ball, with broken windows...
This was on a local repeater that activates weather geeks during severe events, and he is not a "net guy".
Frank did very well, reporting really crazy conditions, pretty cool for a mandolin playin' buskin' woodworkin' hippy... ;)
