Overview
Downwind is a localized atmospheric phenomenon compared to a tornado in its movement and intensity. While its exact mechanics are debated, the unpredictable 'single bloom' may not have occurred for many years. Local accounts vary, with one exaggerated report claiming it pushed a three-story building, though its actual frequency and power remain subjects of local discussion.
