Unexpected storm at the Bosque

Given that this storm targeted only the Reception Center at Bosque Santa Lúcia, it must have dropped out of the sky in the form of a tornado.  Several large trees were felled with damage to the round-house, the Casa de Caboclo and the bridge.  The tree we see on the ground is a taperebá (Spondia lute)
