    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_weather

    A wake low or a mesoscale low-pressure area forms behind the rain shield (a high pressure system under the rain canopy) of a mature squall line and is sometimes associated with a heat burst. [40] Squall lines often cause severe straight-line wind damage, and most non-tornadic wind damage is caused from squall lines. [41]
