"The NWS report revealed the damage is consistent with a wet microburst. The storm's powerful straight-line winds flattened wheat and corn crops, ripped aluminum siding off outbuildings, and flipped over a small shed and a camper. Ten power poles were shattered at their bases, but they had already been replaced at the time of the survey."
