Our "Landspout" friends are nothing to be scoffed at. What a neat photo. Thanks for posting that.

I've uploaded a 86mb clip of 9 minutes of the funnel/tornado compressed into 2 minutes, like a time lapse. Best to view at full screen to see all the rotation an detail. The tornado touched down at approx the 1min mark and toward the end you can see another vorticity in the upper left part of the screen.
