Quite an interesting feature this evening. Almost looks like a tiny hurricane.......MGC

Severe TS formed rapidly, and just as rapidly dissipating?

obviously. Hard to tell from one image, but I would assume that the image is that of cyclonic end of a bookend vortex. Were there strong winds reported south/southwest of Houston with this storm?

I'd like to know what the heck happened there. That's definitely not you're average low pressure system, especially not with all that heavy cyclonic-ly-arranged rain.

Is there any official notice of the storm, or do we have to keep with speculation?

Not even close to the 1999 "Tornadocane" over NC.
