OMIGOSH! Downtown Buffalo had unpredicted EF1 tornado today

[wnylib]

13. After Buffalo, the storm moved eastward into those counties

causing severe storm warnings and flood watches there.

The funnel formed right at the shore of Lake Erie and moved east into the city. There are videos that show the formation from swirling clouds, but stupid Fox reported it as a water spout that moved inland. It's possible for water spouts to do that, but pretty rare, and several videos confirm that it was a land tornado that formed overhead right over the land at the shore.
