MIDLAND, Texas — Monday night's weather caused some damage in the area of Grassland Estates.
The initial cause of the damage was thought to be a microburst. However, it has been officially determined that this was actually the result of powerful straight-line winds.
This was based on the condition of power poles, pictures above, as well as tree damage that was seen in the area as well.
Wind speeds are estimated to have been 70 miles per hour.
The strongest winds seem to have been localized to a small area near the intersection of HWY 191 and 158.
