Tornado! Twister! is this a funnel cloud?

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).

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
-
wow it's so black outside...

Shelf cloud

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

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.

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)

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.
THE CLOUDS ARE FAST
