Blew over the AC units and it was just chaotic."][Notes:SOT-Kevin Murphy- "The wind picked up and it was just a microburst and it picked everything up and just slammed it right over everybody's head. One little boy got a rope wrapped around him and it swung him up over the building."]The National Weather Service says winds reached 48 miles-per-hour during the storm.[Notes:SOT- Kenny Cannoen "They called a momentary shut down of the sir show because they just thought it was going to rain, the that section of wind came through there so quick, so fast that nobody had any time to respond at all."]The county coroner says the winds knocked down a row of tents. [Notes:Edit SOT- Kenny Cannoen "They (emergency workers) basically run everybody out of the area.
