judging by my personal experience, yes u filmed a funnel cloud but several things were stopping the formation. One key was the rain sheer to the right of the funnel cloud. This has been shown to slow or stop tornadic development. Other factors could've been wind aloft, no strong up lift. This is quite common and it takes alot of ingriedients to be at hand just for one to drop, not just rotation. The development stage still mystifies meteorlogists and scientists. I live in Metro Detroit so..
I've been in a tornado. it was at night and it was very scary. My yard it a mess now. D: Thank god it didn't touch my house though. oh and during gustav i saw some rotating clouds. it was awesome but a little scary.
o.k. mister know-it-all what is it then i have seen one of these things closer than that and that is a funnel but thank god in my case it did not come down
I've seen many funnel clouds and a few tornadoes in the 7 years that I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska. I never saw a "green" sky when I saw a funnel or tornado.I have seen many "orangy" tinted skies, :whitish" skies, and gray skies though.
The video depicts a funnel cloud, although a weak one. "Absolutes" like green sky, shapes, cloud movement, hail etc are so variable w/tornadic events that it's impossible to apply 1 standard to every storm. One's position relative to a funnel will be different for each observer; supercell & non-supercell tornadoes are also quite dissimilar (in fact ALL storms change appearance relative to time & space). So when someone says they saw a funnel & it "didn't look like this", it's an empty comment.
Green means hail. A rotating column of air descending from a wall cloud as seen in the video means funnel cloud. Large hail is indicative of a powerful/severe thunderstorm and thus a greater possibility of tornadic activity however is not required for such, Since the tornado is a feature of the updraft of a thunderstorm whereas the majority of precipitation comes from the downdraft. Green skies are probably a better indication of a microburst than a tornado.
um, i dont think that was a funnel cloud... the sky would look different. i havent been in a tornado, but i've had it described to me. the sky's usually a distinct green.
i have seen many funnel clouds in my life, not all of them look the same. and if you have never even seen one, then how the hell can judge whether or not this is a funnel cloud? that is a funnel cloud because there was a tornado warning for the area that had the funnel. and btw the sky isn't always green when you see a funnel, i infact never seen a green each time i saw one.
i know the sky doesn't have to be green because there was one in my city and the sky was not green. and it's hard to tell what the clouds are REALLY doing in a video because it's not real life. a tornado warning doesn't mean there's going to be one. my area gets warnings sometimes, but tornadoes never actually come.
haha we're issued for a tornado warning right now, like our sirens are going off and everything so they said watch out for funnel clouds and im upstairs in my room, top floor, looking up funnel clouds on the internet. freaking scaryyyy. i hope to god i dont see anything like that.
I'm intrested in tornados too, but there was a guy or a girl who says that the tornado moving away from him, bad idea not to hide 'cause a tornado can change his way in a few seconds!!! A big Hi from Germany :P
nice video, you can really see the rotation when you fast forward the vid. You were in the perfect spot, u didnt need to hide cause it was movin away from you.
i saw a triangle cloud and it looked like a funnel cloud.my sister was so scared!

This actually appears to be a tornado. While it may not appear to be touching down, at 2:00 you can see some debris at ground level.

Lets settle the arguement:

That distinct green that you are talking about it indicative of hail...not a tornado. The clouds don't have to be green to be tornado producing.

yeah there was this one storm next to me on may 24th, it was producing hail up to quarter size, and i didn't see that weird sky everybody mentions.

all tornadoes begin as funnel clouds, so a lot of them actually do touch down.

No not all tornadoes. Some tornadoes have no visible condensation funnel. Only a dust swirl at the ground indicates their presence.
