Microburst in Worcester?

Think we just had one. Branches everywhere, one missed my car by three feet. Next door, a tree or most of one came down and tore down powerlines and crushed the neighbor’s tool shed. Sparks everywhere, although no apparent loss of power to anything except their house. I called 911; they said they were inundated with over a hundred calls — my first two attempts got busy signals.

I was outside putting out trash when all of this hit — huge wind, sudden horizontal rain, big trees blown level in the wind. I’ve stood outside in hurricanes before and this was scarier. Was going in when the branch/tree fell on the shed.

Everyone OK?
