CRW_5132_JFR_small
Strong cloud motion very close to the ground. This may have been a weak tornado, though weak ground kept us from having a ready source of dust.

The tight rotation took on a more laminar appearance, with what appeared to be a brief funnel.

CRW_5135_JFR_small
After losing patience and attempting to reposition, the deeply occluded updraft (now wrapped in some rain) finally produced a weak tornado. I believe Roger has a picture that is more of a zoomed image showing dust poofs beneath the funnel.
