Overview
|
Storm spotters reported a weak landspout in a field near highway 32 and county road 400 West in Randolph County. Video and pictures confirm the landspout tornado in an open field. No damage occurred so the ranking is an EF-U, for unknown strength due to the lack of damage indicators. A landspout is a type of tornado, but does not develop from a supercell thunderstorm with a rotating updraft. Landspout form closer to the ground and stretch upward. Because of the lack of depth in rotation, these tornadoes tend to be weak and short lived compared to their supercell counterparts. |
