I was sent a link to this interesting video shot from a control tower that shows purported 55kt wind gusts (microburst?) almost blowing some SuperCub tugs right off the runway except for some quick thinking getting them airborne by the pilots (in the right way). Not to mention lots of people holding down some gliders from trying to take off on their own.

There are no location details in the text other than "Colorado" but the video identifies the airport as KAFF (http://www.airnav.com/airport/KAFF) which is the USAF Academy. I believe that they fly DG-1000's.

Scary for the tug pilots to say the least.
