That was fun! Especially the bugs.

Did you catch the part about the NASA study that makes out the spiral angle to be at most 3 degrees off the fuselage centerline? The horizontal tornado wouldn't even make it around the fuselage once during a full-throttle runup on the ground. The pressure waves are a different story entirely.
