As thunderstorms roiled across the Phoenix landscape on Monday night, this incredible microburst came crashing down from the sky in a blast of rain, hail and wind.

Jerry Ferguson, a helicopter reporter, took this incredible photo of the microburst during his flight.

2. I was editing my OP to add that first one as you were writing.

If I saw that headed my way ... well, I don't know. I don't think I'd bother to run.

Thanks for writing.

4. You just pull off the road and turn off your

lights, keeping your foot off the brake. It's not a tornado.

6. A pilot's worst nightmare...

we have several different ones, including the DFW one, modeled in our sims. They make the pilots sweat, and they know they are in a sim.

8. Why should it be fake?

That's just a little larger in diameter than one my daughter took a picture of last August, which was printed in the West Valley (AZ) Independent in October or so.
