[edit] Tornado or downburst

The leading expert in tornadoes and wind damage surveys, Ted Fujita, surveyed this event soon after its occurrence and was confident that it was caused by straight-line winds (a downburst), not a tornado. The NWS did not change this in the official record, however. I don't have the original survey documents, but this is verifiable from Significant Tornadoes (1993) by Thomas P. Grazulis.
