Severe Potential 6/22-6/23

Was that a derecho that started in eastern Tennessee this afternoon?

Here, have a video of a possible very weak apparently anticyclonic spin-up or gustnado type event at the end of my driveway on the 22nd. Sudden burst of inwardly spiraling wind in otherwise calm conditions under rising rapidly rotating scud caused minor tree damage under a dying anticyclonic couplet on the north rear side of a decaying shower. Nothing that will make it on official record, but pretty neat little experience. I won't say 100% there was a legit touchdown, but I am mostly convinced there was a weak vortex that made it to the ground in a forest area.
