This would be a tornado or a series of tornadoes as we would classify them here. One thing to keep everyone informed. In tornado conditions where a funnel cloud is sighted. There can be more than just the one funnel cloud in which everyone shold keep in mind. Been a trained spotter for every bit of 50 years. Prayers to all ,
