[edit] how is a downburst anything like a tornado?

this reference seems confusing. downbursts are straightline winds and tornadoes are a tight rotating column of air. visibly, they are easily distinguishable. Joeyramoney 17:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Changed the text within the article to make it more obvious to the reader that tornadoes and downbursts are completely differnet phenomena. Thegreatdr 11:48, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
