A small shower produced a brief landspout tornado to the west of Muncie in Delaware County on the evening of September 22. It appeared that the cell developed along a weak boundary extending to the west from where the landspout tornado occurred. A landspout is a tornado that does not arise from organized storm scale rotation and therefore is not associated with a wall cloud visually or a mesocyclone on radar. Landspouts often begin close to the ground and develop upwards. .Delaware County Landspout Tornado...
