While the initial shock must have been pretty horrifying for a group of people enjoying their wine-tasting experience, when it was all over with they must have been thanking their lucky stars.
It was at the Laurello Vineyard in Geneva, OH, that a rather interesting and powerful weather phenomenon occurred: what is known as a microburst, in which a collapsed cloud drops from the sky and travels away from a tornado.
The group of 30 wine aficionados were enjoying their stay, looking out at the dark storm clouds far in the distance, when out of nowhere a huge screaming wind arrived. Within moments all 30 of the vineyard-goers were flying away. With heavy furniture flipping all around them, and the roof of the house flying up into the sky, it seems almost assured that someone would be horribly injured.
But it was over almost as quickly as it began. And somehow, all of the people stood back up. A few were scratched up a bit, but no one was seriously injured.
Just when you thought it couldn't get any more incredible, it turns out that just a few hours later, a popular band was set to play. This band plays at the winery every once in a while, and usually they manage to draw a crowd of over 300 people. Imagine if this microburst had happened with 300 people, then we can all say that something much worse would have happened.
Thank goodness no one was hurt. If you ever find yourself in one of these microbursts please remember to duck and cover!
