PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - A landspout was spotted over Pinellas Park on Thursday afternoon.
Patrick Johnson shared some photos with FOX 13 Tampa Bay.
The landspout popped up just south of Feathersound.
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), according to the National Weather Service.
Landspouts typically are observed beneath towering cumulus clouds (often as no more than a dust whirl), and essentially are the land-based equivalents of waterspouts.
This landspout did not cause any damage or injuries, according to officials.
