I think he means Straight line wind "Sometimes the damage from a straight-line wind is so great that people will claim it came from a cyclone/tornado, but it's easy to tell which caused the destruction after the storm. Straight-line winds are similar to cyclones/tornados as far as having the same wind speeds and same amount of damage, but cyclones/tornadoes destroy with circular winds. Straight-line winds do damage that appears more like that of a hurricane with trees and crops laying flat in a single direction. The most likely cause of a straight-line wind in a storm is from a downburst, which is colder air being forced down vertically in front of a storm. Once the downburst hits the ground, either on land or water, it has nowhere else to go, and is forced along the ground at great speed. Unfortunately, unlike cyclones/tornadoes which can be tracked with decent accuracy, downbursts are more unpredictable and may develop before the television and radio weather teams have time to put out a warning. Also, it's believed that downbursts are the reason some boats and aircraft have disappeared without warning in the past, and why they have crashed during otherwise calm weather" Regards Milton
