...NWS Damage Survey for the 05/28/25 Severe Thunderstorm in 
Austin Texas...

A National Weather Service survey team concluded a long track 
microburst, associated with a supercell, occurred from central 
Austin, near the Hyde Park area, southeast to just east of the 
Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The length of the damage 
was approximately 10 miles long, with a path width ranging from 
one mile to a maximum of around 2.5 miles on the east side of 
Austin. Numerous trees and powerlines were damaged along the path.
Large tree branches were snapped and a few trees uprooted that 
had shallow root systems. Minor shingle damage was observed on 
some homes. Maximum sustained winds were estimated to be between 
65 and 85 mph. The Austin Bergstrom International Airport recorded
a peak wind gust of 77 mph.

In addition, sporadic, non-continuous wind damage was observed 
into northwest Austin along the supercell's track. This consisted 
mainly of small to medium sized tree branches. Part of a gas 
station canopy collapsed onto two vehicles. Winds through this 
area were estimated at 55-75 mph.

Sporadic wind damage was also observed to the south, associated 
with the rear flank downdraft. This was mainly damage to small to 
medium tree branches. In addition, the rear flank downdraft also 
below out windows on the top of the rotunda at Texas Capitol 
building.

There was no damage observed that was consistent with a tornado.

The survey team also observed damage to tree foliage along the 
track of the hail core.
