Vortex: Stan Cole, an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, filmed this landspout from just 100 yards away in Loraine, Texas . Cole told local news station KTXS that he felt chunks of mud start hitting the vehicle, at which point the two hopped out and started filming.

The wind formations tend not to last much longer than 15 minutes, and are too small-scale to appear on weather radars. Other landspout photographs emerged Wednesday night from the area around Loraine. Various social media users posted images of a clearly-defined spout working its way through fields - though it is not clear whether that was the same spout captured in Cole's video.
