"The wind was just howling really hard. Then after about 10-15 minutes it became very loud, my ear membranes were literally bursting, my ears were blocked, and suddenly the roof of my house formed by itself."Kommersant
His house in the town of Moscow Mills was the only one damaged during this strange phenomenon, and then a wave of destruction swept through the entire district, but somehow selectively. Broken trees, a crushed barn, power poles.
"That's how it all started. I was at home when I was informed of a strange damage to a house in Moscow Mills. This was the first report of damage, and then calls began to arrive from other residents of the county," said Adam Stanek, director of the Lincoln County Emergency Management Department.
When the damage was first reported, meteorologists in St. Louis were skeptical and did not believe that such a thing could happen.
"Our first thoughts were, 'We have to check this out,'" said Kevin Deitch, a meteorologist for the St. Louis National Weather Service's warning coordination.
Everything was confirmed, and then they began to look for an explanation of what had happened. Meteorologists of the National Weather Service have suggested that the cause of the events may be a gravitational wave.
The meteorologists' explanations turned out to be so confusing that it looks more like a desire to quickly explain what happened than the actual reason.
They explained it as follows:
"Here's how it happened: on Tuesday evening we didn't have so many thunderstorms, because there was a layer of warm air high in the atmosphere, a cap. Sometimes we get storms that try to develop. They kind of bump into that lid, and the reason they don't succeed is because they're being pushed down. It happened quickly and caused strong winds on the surface. These winds rushed straight to the Hamburg house and barn in Hawk Point, to individual poles and trees throughout the county and destroyed them. At least that's the current opinion based on an analysis by the National Weather Service. We cannot say 100% that this was exactly the case, but so far this is the explanation that we have."
