Are landspouts in some films?[edit]

Looking at pictures I think there are several landspouts in The Day After Tomorrow when Los Angeles is destroyed. When that guy in the skycraper building rings his friend and tells him a tornado warning has been issued to the Los Angeles area, his friend goes outside and sees what looks like to me a landspout. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phthinosuchusisanancestor (talk • contribs) 10:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Day After Tomorrow is a scientific travesty, and even if it were relevant I would not want to include it here. (sorry, I find it hard to hide my disdain for bad science :-D) -RunningOnBrains^{(talk page)} 16:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of any films that went out of their way to create landspouts, however I do know they were mentioned in a Criminal Minds episode. BusyWikipedian (talk) 00:55, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be confused with waterspout.
[edit]

That's not what is for. Someone comes to the article "Landspout", they don't think they're coming to the article "waterspout". The first paragraph links to waterspout if they're curious. What possible benefit is there to this hatnote? What problem is it trying to solve? --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:42, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
