They also reported a possible tornado there, and speculated that it might have been a gustnado. No official confirmation yet on that.

I see the Funnel Cloud in the observation, but no reports of winds over
8kt in the official obs? That's strange, must have been with an
unofficial gauge or one located elsewhere on the base?
