Dusty Tube
This beautiful F0 tornado touched down simultaneously with two other tornadoes (not seen in this image). Its appearance is consistent with a landspout (the main mesocyclone was just to my east; this photo is looking southwest). I loved the "tube within a tube" appearance of dust circling around the hollow circulation. Though the debris cloud looks impressive, it was entirely dust. In the foreground are sprinklers (for those unfamiliar with rural areas). From the air these sprinklers form the circles you see from a plane window (they move around in slow circles--in this case the center of the circle is off to the right of the photo.
