'Mystery Wind' Wipes Out Patch of WA Forest

A mysterious incident, believed to be meteorological in nature, knocked  down over 100 trees in a Washington state national park and has left  weather experts baffled.

Putting a unique twist on the old adage of a tree falling in the forest,  the head-scratching event occurred in the early morning hours of  January 27th at the Olympic National Park.

Whatever the force was, it wound up knocking down dozens of fairly large  trees in the forest which spawned a rumbling sound that drew concerned  from people living nearby.

Although initially presumed to have been a microburst based on the  appearance of the downed trees, a local weather watcher named Cliff Mass  dug deeper into the story and realized that it was really more of a riddle than that.
