Harvey County, Kansas, USA – A video recorded by X user Dana Shifflett shows a landspout, a weak non-supercell tornado, rotating across a rural wheat field as storm clouds loom overhead.

The nearly 54-second handheld footage was filmed from a front yard at 3915 S Rock in Newton, looking east over open farmland. A dark, narrow funnel, at times widening toward a wedge shape, stretches down from heavy clouds and spins steadily in the distance.

Rotation is clearly visible at the base, with a column of debris or condensation rising into the gray sky. The camera remains mostly steady despite natural movement, keeping the vortex centered as it slowly drifts eastward. Bright green crops dominate the foreground, while a line of distant trees marks the horizon beneath the brooding storm.

The landspout formed around 1:50 PM CDT on April 23, 2026, about four miles south-southeast of Newton Municipal Airport. It developed during a broader multi-day severe weather pattern that also produced stronger tornadoes across parts of Oklahoma and Kansas.

No damage or injuries were reported from this specific tornado.
