Re: Mesovortex

MESOVORTEX-A medium-size whirlwind on the scale of a few miles. It is thus smaller than a hurricane but larger than a tornado. Mesovortices may form in the eyewall of a hurricane, and may cause significant damage at ground level. Question: During Andrew is this what could of happened or did Andrew just spawn tornados
Thanks
