Possibly something @weatherwiz might be interested in.   I just had this video show up on my YouTube feed.  Not sure why.  
but a decent documentary on the 1995 Great Barrington MA tornado 

it just posted 5 days ago   Worth watching IMHO 

 

I drove through Monterey a few days later.  Amazing to see acres upon acres of trees snapped like matchsticks about 15' off the ground.

...NWS Damage Survey for 07/20/25 Thunderstorm Wind Event...

Severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a slow moving cold front
Sunday. One storm developed west of the Lakes Region,
strengthening as it approached Danbury and Franklin, NH. The storm
collapsed near Sanbornton, producing a powerful wet microburst.
Observed wind damage in some pockets was consistent with estimated
wind speeds of 105 mph, resulting in over 500 downed trees in the area.

.Wet Microburst Wind Damage...

Peak Wind (estimated): 105 mph
Path Length /statute/:  2 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   .5 miles
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             07/20/25
Start Time:             504pm EDT
Start Location:         Sanbornton, NH
Start Lat/Lon:          43.5023 / -71.5852

End Date:               07/20/25
End Time:               510pm EDT
End Location:           Sanbornton, NH
End Lat/Lon:            49.4910 / -71.5502

Significant tree damage was located in Sanbornton, NH that was
consistent with a wet microburst. Numerous eye witnesses expressed
that the strongest winds occurred with the heaviest downpour.
Damage was variable in the downburst area with a general southeast
fall direction to the trees being observed. There where two distinct
pockets of damage that took hundreds of trees down, to include pine,
oak and maple. Trees where both uprooted and snapped. In addition,
hundreds of other trees where downed on the edges of the damage area,
but damage was more sporadic in nature. Some structral damage did
occur, but was mostly confined to sheds and shelter structures. A few
vehicles were also damaged due to trees falling on them. Additional
damage was likely further in the woods, but was not accessible for
the damage survey.  An estimated 500 trees were either snapped or blown
down in the damage area.

Over 400 miles in 6 minutes.  Impressive.

Mie scattering in San Francisco Bay?

As I remember from the first optics class I took, Rayleigh=1/Lambda to the 4th power while Mie=1/Lambda 

As Van Morrison implies…
