Definition Of:

Landspout

Weather DictionaryWeather Dictionary
[Slang], 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). Landspouts typically are observed beneath Cbs or towering cumulus clouds (often as no more than a dust whirl ), and essentially are the land-based equivalents of waterspouts .
