[Part 3 of 3] Within less than 30 seconds before dissipating, this gustnado assumed its broadest size, but also visibly weakened outside of one or two lingering subvortices, mainly the one now on the right edge of the dust plume. Though not as intense as a real tornado, such a vortex still contains rapid accelerations in small spaces. One would not want to try to walk through this without tightly strapped eye protection, a good facemask, and probably a helmet and knee and elbow padding, in case a quick zero to 60-mph flow acceleration makes the person lose balance and fall over. It might even be capable of blowing a moving car a few feet to one side or another and causing loss of control leading to a wreck. [Back to Part 1]
