Microburst May Have Flattened Trees at Willow Creek

Forecasters think a microburst is what blew down dozens of trees at Willow Creek Golf Course in West Des Moines last night. KCCI Meteorologist John McLaughlin says radar estimates show winds hit at least 70 mph. A microburst is a column of air that drops from the clouds and generates high winds in all directions. Part of the course reopened this morning an crews are clearing debris to reopen the rest.
