I can't tell if it's a tornado, or just an especially quick-moving toddler.

Amazing! Even a small tornado can rip trees out the ground and drop little pieces of them yards away. And this isn't even a fraction of a EF 3, 4, or 5 tornado's power. Unbelievable!

That is a spin up tornado.  Very small but powerful.

I really wanted to stand still and let this toddler come to me and give it a big hug.

"Yeah, just put that tree anywhere. Damn tornadoes. Think they own the place"

[r.t.c.no.]

That was interesting to see it go through the yard like that. Must’ve been at its early stage.

That was just Storm taking a shortcut back to the mansion.

An EF-0 vortex pass about 20 feet from where I was standing during Hurricane Harvey. Wish I captured it on video.
