Please forgive me if this is covered in a previous post.
My limited understanding of the situationals involved makes me think that landspouts and gustnadoes are primarily different only in their relative locations, i.e. along shelf/roll clouds for gustnadoes and in main updrafts or flanking lines for landspouts. Is this correct? Are there any interchangeable factors or qualities between them?
I saw my first gustnadoes in June 2004 just west of Stratford, TX. Finally got something on video that was rotating on the ground.
