Collins Bus Corporation's South Hutchinson plant was damaged by what weather experts are calling a "microburst thunderstorm." No one was injured during the storm and the company's production schedule will not be affected. The damage was centralized to roof of the sales offices. Other local businesses affected by the storm include Tyson Foods. A microburst is defined as "a small, very intense downdraft that descends to the ground resulting in a strong wind divergence. Microbursts are capable of producing winds of more than 100 mph causing significant damage."
