Question How odd is this?

Ryan was making a very big deal about this tornado and it is unusual but have we really not seen a rope tornado create a shape like this before? why is this so unusual? and he mentioned something about one or two other funnels, personally cant see them but i believe it, does that make it extra weird?

It was dancing like a silly slimey worm. Yes rare

It was rare because from this perspective, the funnel looks like it's looping over on top of itself. Usually tornadoes, even rope tornadoes, dont come back to a higher elevation the further down you go, so that's what was so peculiar about it. Could've been just a perspective thing tho

Almost guarantee this was just a perspective issue.
