Connecticut Tornado
Also known as a 'univorticular whirlwind', 'univort', or 'dustdevil'. Over water these are known as 'waterspouts'. It's not a true tornado. It's a rising column of air created by a layer of rotating hot air on the surface, while a tornado is a bit more complex, requiring both a significant updraft and downdraft, and rotating winds. Or at least that's the skinny.
