Wow. Texas Storm Chasers seemed to think it was a 70+ mile downdraft from a storm they had out there. Horrible event

Its probably the same type of wind system that brought down the Cowboys Training Facility a few years ago.

yes indeed.

downdrafts or microburst are hard to predict or see coming. One of the most famous microburst to happen was here 26 years ago that brought down Flight 191 at DFW Airport. If I remember correctly they are more common when a storm is collapsing and falling apart.
