On todays news/weather, we were informed by the National Weather Service that we had no "official" tornadoes on Monday. Since several funnel clouds were spotted in College Station, why don't they count? A former U.S. Marine Meteorologist called and told us if they don't touch the ground, they ain't tornadoes. My next question is who's gonna stand underneath them to inspect?

"A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending between, and in contact with, a cloud and the surface of the earth." (The Weather Channel)
