mini-cyclone
This morning after having had my car parked in the sun for a couple of hours I poured water on the rear window to cool it (as described in this post). When I did so the mist that rose up from the window spiraled up in a way that was similar to a cyclone (but on a much smaller scale).
Would this have been caused by the steam rising off my car after I poured the water on? Or might the air have been moving in that pattern before and merely have been revealed by the water vapor?
It's a pity I didn't have my camera. My phone-camera doesn't have anything close to the quality needed to make a movie of this (it would be doubtful even with my regular camera).

Why would I give you my Google password?
Anyway, I once observed vortices travelling across a puddle, leaving wakes like tiny motorboats. It's fairly common.
Anon: That's one of the more bizarre comments I've received. I never asked you for a google password (or any other).
Just to the right of your comment it says
"Sign in with your Google Account".
This doesn't look like Google to me, why then . . .
Bizarre, (hrrmph)
Google purchased blogger and integrated the sign-on. That's why the entire service has the google brand, and if you click on the "more" link from the main www.google.com page it gives you a link to Blogger.
