Extreme Weather-Intense Micro-Burst Begins,Even The Birds Were Walking...
A downburst is created by an area of significantly rain-cooled air that, after reaching ground level, spreads out in all directions producing strong winds. Unlike winds in a tornado, winds in a downburst are directed outwards from the point where it hits land or water. Dry downbursts are associated with thunderstorms with very little rain, while wet downbursts are created by thunderstorms with high amounts of rainfall. Microbursts and macrobursts are downbursts at very small and larger scales respectively.
Russia Says It Will Fulfill Syria Missile System Contract
Russia will honour its controversial contract to deliver S-300 air defence missile systems to Syria, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Thursday. "We respect all our contracts and are honouring all our contractual obligations," Lavrov said in an interview with state-run Rossiya 24 TV. "As yet, the contracts are not finished, they have not been delivered in full," he added. Russia last month acknowledged it has agreed to sell Syria advanced S-300 air-defence missiles, which are considered to be the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology.
