What the National Weather Service wrote

Workers looking east from a wind farm field team near Corona observed a brief tornado.

The wider storm

A moderate upper level disturbance tapped into subtropical moisture resulting in thunderstorm activity across central and eastern NM, as well as virga showers and dry thunderstorms over western NM. A brief 59 mph virga induced gust hit the Four Corners Regional Airport in Farmington. A line of collapsing thunderstorms produced severe wind gusts in Union County, including a 66 mph gust at Clayton. Elsewhere, a brief tornado was observed by storm spotters near Corona, NM. Convective activity died down past sunset.

Began near Vaughn (34.3402, -105.3327).
