A “brief landspout tornado” touched down Saturday between two of the busiest highways in New Jersey, the National Weather Service said.

The twister -- which made its landfall near I-295 and the Turnpike -- swept across a warehouse parking lot in Mount Laurel, flipped a car on its side, tore two air conditioning units off a roof. The wind damage “buckled” the roof, the Mount Holly-based NWS said. Wind wiped at up to 70 mph during the storm.

The incident occurred near the 100 block of Gaither Drive and did not move far beyond, authorities said.

A landspout tornado has a narrow, rope-like condensation funnel that forms while the thunderstorm cloud is still growing, the weather service said. It is not as destructive as a supercell tornado, which has higher wind speed and more potential for damage.

The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties on Saturday.
