True that. That sidewinder was cool to watch. Entire lifecycle. 😍

These needle-sized drillbits tornadoes fascinate me.

Anecdotally, they seem to be somewhat common across the Corn Belt during the summertime.

They probably pack EF3 winds into a tiny radius just 3-5 feet wide, but rarely cause EF3 damage because those winds act so briefly.

Wow!! Tornado of the high end day. The others seemed to be danger noodles 🙈

EF3 tornado potential here!

[Matthew Cappucci @MatthewCappucci]

PSA for all and special epilogue for Shane: the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded their forecast tornado risk for today.

The potential exists for several to numerous tornadoes and a couple EF2 or EF3 tornadoes IF storm mode cooperates. This is reflected in their 8 AM outlook.
