Severe storm damage opinions

· by Jimmy Deguara

I've attatched some images from a storm set that came through from 12 Jan through Manton Dam region in rural Darwin.  Is a localised event but downed trees suggest microburst activity.  Could experienced members comment on the images and give their opinions as to what it may have been?

From radar loops that night two storms stood out. One entrained cell that went through Manton Dam region and another some hours later which was a tight BER line that i think is the culprit.

note how grass is bent in the same direction even three days post storm.
