Makes you wonder how many of these midget tropical cyclones go undetected.

Midget tropical cyclones have impacted Texas coast. Hurricane Humberto (2007), Chantal (1989), and Jerry (1989) would be considered midget tropical cyclones.

It’s like a tornado vertically stacked through all layers! Pretty crazy to see. Wouldn’t be surprised that these happen more often than we realize.
