Don't see rotation. I would say this was a gust front/gustnado. Defiantly intense situation.

If you were 1 m west of this (my house) and yes family is trained spotters, there was rotation to this before it continued east. We actually were headed from the barn to the house after the golf ball sized hail stopped and looked up to see it.

Sorry about the intersection description. It was probably Burnett Station Road & 13. I just always knew it as the road that goes to Alburnett. Thanks for the correction.

I, too, am a trained weather spotter (and a member of the media). The key to a funnel cloud is rotation, which isn't evident in this video. Still a scary storm to be caught in, though.

I'm a trained spotter. Not a tornado. It was the gust front coming towards them. watch again. It's a gustnado. I could post you more videos of similar situations that are gustnados too if you want.

Gust front??? Not so sure about that. It looks like it's one the back end where they usually form. I say that's a tornado.

Gust front gustnado at best. Good catch though.
