Today severe weather brought a microburst to Hall County, GA. The damage from this "linear wind" was severe to the home shown below and 53 others. This house was blown off its foundation and ripped in two.

With wind velocities such as this it is astonishing that ANY kiteboarder would intentionally expose themselves to the uncertainty of this hazard.
