Of course.The NWS survey shows its max width of 40 yards and on the ground for .6/mile. Barely clipping that trailer park.

It was a very quick and short lived spin up. I have a friend who lives a mile or two NW of this location and he said they never even had wind. This is the kind that is maybe 5-10 feet wide and on the ground for a block if that. I wasn't watching velocity last night but I wouldn't be surprised it was so short lived to be between scans and hardly if ever seen on radar.
quarter mile to the south or west and it is in a field and we never hear about it.
You mean a dust devil? I've never heard of a 5-10 ft wide tornado. Now I'm going to have to Google narrowest tornado ever, lol.
I suppose the smallest of all tornadoes could be 5-10 ft. I found the NWS described the smallest tornadoes at 10 yards wide and the average tornado width is 50 yards wide, which seems more reasonable.
Sorry, @wxman1 , not trying to call you out but I realized I'd never really thought much about the smallest tornado.
Think it was.Was March warmer than April? April feels colder.
Especially at night.
I'd take some snow right now. It is very dry out there during morel season.Snow tonight??????? You gotta be kidding.
