            A witness described multiple living, mature
            Douglas Fir and Grand Fir trees snapped in
            half. After reviewing the radar data, it
            appears a microburst occurred. After the
            thunderstorm pulsed up over the headwaters
            of the American River basin, north of Elk
            City, it then dropped over the Selway River
            between Selway Falls and Glover Campground.
            For these healthy trees to be snapped in
            half, the wind speeds could have exceeded 70
            mph. It was reported that some of the trees
            were positioned towards the west-southwest
            direction.
