It's hard to say in this video, especially since the trees there in the front are covering some of the features of what appears to be strong defined lowering in the distance - this may, as many have pointed out, suggest a steady mesocyclone. However, given the speed at which the shelf cloud/gust front is moving at, this could be a sign of gradual stronger outflow taking over, thus inhibiting further tornado development (assuming of course that strong outflow persists).
also, look behind the cloud to the far left.... clearer skies.... a mesocyclone is bowl shaped with no clearing, except for the RFD clear slot to the southwest..... (not that)
Do you think the clearer skies, assuming that's what the case is, at the far left is the result of the stronger outflow?
On the other hand, at the beginning of the gust front and rain core way to the left still looks fairly dark relative to the bright skies ahead of the anvil. Either way, though, strong gust signatures are a certainty with this storm.
It's a Landspout (Non supercell Tornado) because Tornadoes usually form from Wall clouds in supercells and Landspouts can form from the boundry line of Gust fronts like this.
you guys dont know SHIT about twisters or storms. that is a mesocyclone.. and toward the end of the video you can see a skinny rope funnel cloud appearing out of the right of this meso.
sometimes on the gust front the winds will kick up little tornadoes called "gustnadoes". they're relatively short lived and are generally f0s. it's kind of similar to leaves spinning around in a vortex on a windy day.
Tornadoes don't usually form in front of the gust front, which it seems you are filming near, probably just strong out flow with heavy condensation on a shelf cloud,
There was No Tornado, but it was a very well defined wall cloud...wow the clouds moved so fast! great video

the big one looks like a shelf cloud but there is a small twister coming of the bottom right section

yes .. its a tornado and dang is only took 2 sec for a small tornado to form .. must be fast winds

good observation Trav.
The only reason I said no, was the strong outflow, when a mesocyclone is in an inflow area, being an updraft.
also, i saw no persistent rotation, just sideways movement, indicative of a right mover AKA linear storm.

Either a mesocyclone or a very violent edge of a super cell.

this was actually the underneath of a gust front, great capture!
how I know this is that the structure is extended from the left hand side of the screen to the top right and from the speed it is moving.

Thats a mesocyclone

that is a funnel cloud cause it was spinning

Omg man could'nt u make it like 01:25? instead of 00:08!?. and was the sound of thunder or some music in the background

it looks like a little vortex is starting to branch off the main cloud

i agree with mega shots. that was probobly just a little roper from the derecho.

no that is way to big for a tornado and its probably rain, why its raining fat away i kinda looks like a cloud but it is not

Gustnado. Not an "official' tornado, but so borderline a whirlwind it's hard to say.

well if u notis the right edge of the cloud u can see a small twister spawning
