Harteau discovered the funnel cloud

A funnel cloud was reported in Hutto, about 27 miles northeast of Austin. Tomasko said the sighting was not a tornado.

“Not a tornado, but most likely a brief gust or landspout formed when two outflow boundaries collided and briefly increased wind shear near the surface,” he wrote.
