Tornado Without Condensation Funnel

Is this a Tornado? – Look for debris

Decorative Image: This is a tornado! Although the condensation funnel is not visibly in contact with the ground, there indeed is a connection between the cloud and the ground.

Speaker Notes:

• Although the condensation funnel is not visibly in contact with the ground, there indeed is a connection between the cloud and the ground. Notice there is debris at the ground, and it is rotating.

• By definition, this is a tornado.

• Spotters should remember to look toward the ground when rotation is observed aloft to see if there is rotating debris.
