This house on Bares Road, north of Erath, was sprayed with hail Sunday morning.
This large Oak tree just missed falling on this house on Bares Road.
Residents in Delcambre and north of Erath experienced a five-to-10-minute storm that frightened them early Sunday morning. The U.S. National Weather Service stated that these residents encountered a “microburst.”
A microburst usually occurs during a thunderstorm or heavy rain shower and is often relatively short-lived. It also dissipates as quickly as it arrives.
Wind speeds can reach up to 100 miles per hour as the air hits the ground and disperses. As a result, this phenomenon is often confused with a tornado or hurricane.
