Persistent vorticity
The dying phase (“roping out”) of a tornado typically involves it thinning out and losing contact with the ground, at which point it (by definition) ceases to be a tornado. However, this tornado near Russell, KS on May 25, 2012, continued to stretch and thin yet remained in touch with the ground for an abnormally long time, providing a spectacular sunset demonstration of the stability that can be achieved by stretched atmospheric vortices.
