Delphi, IN tornado/landspout: Extreme close-range intercept (5/8/23)

This tornado spun up directly on top of my car and moved away to the east-southeast as it intensified. Fortunately little to no damage was reported. It had features of both a landspout (dusty laminar funnel), and a conventional tornado (formed from the rotating base of a supercell).

Those Landspout Tornados are very Similar to Fairweather Waterspouts i see alot on Lake Erie very nice catch i had a once in a Lifetime Chase October 7th 2023 i Observed 55 Waterspout Funnel Clouds and 7 Mature Waterspouts on Lake Erie in Fairport Harbor Ohio that day

Amazing. I've never seen a waterspout that I was sure of, although I have seen funnel clouds at the leading edge of a squall line over Lake MI. Could've been touching down on the lake but was too far away to tell.

@cowboystormchaser it can be very hard to tell with Funnel Clouds over the Great Lakes if you seen a Funnel Cloud in a Sqall Line on Lake Michigan it was probably just a Funnel Cloud than but if it was a Fairweather Waterspout they form just like Landspouts so with Them Even if is just a Half/Part Visible Funnel there's a good bet there is spary ring/disturbance on the Water as well because they form from water surface up

Does SBCAPE have to be high for landspouts?

[@cowboystormchaser]

Not necessarily.
