Microburst?

[toucansam]

New poster, don't want to violate any forum rules.  An insane storm hit my neighborhood some weeks ago, did real damage.  I saw spinning air -- very clearly cyclonic, and there was absolutely suction, not just blowing wind.  But all other indications point to a major microburst.  Have a ton of video from the security cameras.  Wanting to post it here to get expert opinions on what it was, but like I said, not wanting to violate rules.  Are YT links allowed?  Thanks.

Yes, it's OK to post YouTube links.

Welcome to the forums.

These are the clips, different angles, some longer than others to focus specifically on parts where the wind speeds definitely maxed.  Reports on the news the following day mentioned sustained speeds of 80MPH.

Certainly looks like it. Do you have a capture of the radar at the time?
