The report studies two severe microbursts occurring on August 8, 1989 in the Las Vegas area. The first occurred at the Henderson Sky Harbor Airport south of the city, with the second at McCarran International Airport minutes afterward. Wind gusts of 46 m/sec (90 kt) were measured at McCarran International Airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wind indicator at midfield. In addition, an abrupt wind shift near the end of the microburst event resulted in an approximate net change of over 67 m/sec (130 kt) down the active runway over a period of about five minutes.
