A “gustnado” — a tornado-like whirlwind more common to the Plains than South Jersey — swirled in Gloucester County Friday with winds up to 105 mph, the National Weather Service said Monday.

A gustnado is a small whirlwind that forms in thunderstorm outflows, but it does not connect with any cloud-base rotation, which makes it different from a tornado. Similar to dust devils, some stronger gustnadoes can cause damage.

After a chaotic and emotional day, the clean-up effort in Collings Lakes, New Jersey, is just beginning in this community.
