Podcast: Weathering a Psychological Microburst

EPISODE 175

Let me tell you another true story.

I had a law office on South LaSalle Street in the financial district of downtown Chicago for over a decade.

One summer morning I had a meeting scheduled with the CEO of a financial company in my office to discuss an important legal matter.

As I walked to work, there was a thunderstorm occurring.  When I turned onto South LaSalle Street I was hit by a microburst from the thunderstorm whose effect was magnified by tunnel effect of the tall buildings.

A microburst is “a pattern of intense winds and rain that descends from rain clouds, that hits the ground, and fans out horizontally in a wave.”

The wind and rain were so strong in the microburst, in just a few seconds I was completely drenched.  Every inch of my clothes were 100% wet including my underwear and socks.  Even my shoes were filled with about an inch of water.  I looked like I had stepped in a shower with all my clothes on.

I experienced a microburst caused by a weather event on South LaSalle Street in Chicago.
