The “Dumont” tornado seldom, if ever, had a condensation funnel, but it lasted ten minutes while gradually lofting dust toward the rotating, scuddy cloud base above. I was unsurprised and glad to learn that this vortex produced no known damage, in a sparsely populated area of large ranches and few structures. Despite dozens of chases and even more supercells seen in these parts, the vast area between Wichita Falls, Childress, Big Spring, and Abilene somehow has yielded very few tornadoes for me in over three decades of storm-intercept attempts. This was a welcomed exception.
