Landspout hits San Tan Valley area during weekend storms

Landspout hits San Tan Valley area during weekend storms

These are photos of a landspout, a term created by atmospheric scientist Howard B. Bluestein in 1985 for a kind of tornado not associated with a mesocyclone. A landspout always forms from the ground up to the thunderstorm when there is converging air. Tornadoes form in supercell thunderstorms which are rotating updrafts. They are strong enough to stretch inside a thunderstorm and form a spinning column of air that can reach the surface.
