NWS said that they did get some reports of some touching down along the highway.
While tornadoes are formed from large rotating supercell storms, landspouts are formed from thunderstorms that don't necessarily have a rotating updraft.
They're weaker than supercell tornadoes but can still cause low-end tornadic damage.
While nothing disastrous has been reported it was quite a site to see.
