Microburst in French Valley Saturday
Posted May 22, 2008, 7:42 AM.
A microburst was reported near the French Valley airport Saturday, May 17th at 2:25pm. The burst lasted about 10-15 seconds, and featured winds in the 40 mph or stronger range. Backyard furniture was reportedly moved by the burst at a house on Rose Circle. The microburst may have been a dust devil, which are fairly common occurrences in the inland valleys. A dust devil earlier this month struck WeatherCurrents' Perris weather station, but did not cause any damage. WeatherCurrents does not currently have a weather station in the French Valley area, but a volunteer has been chosen and installation should occur within the next year. Thanks to Mark Wilson for the report. |
