Is this a tornado? You decide!

Ok, here I am sitting at the Flying J in Texarkana, Arkansas. We've been getting pounded for the last hour and a half and it's finally letting up. This first pic I posted is what I am pretty darn sure is a funnel cloud which is darn close to being a tornado. No tornado warnings...anything. So I am posting this for ya'll to decide. Also got some other cool pics for ya'll to look at. Nasty little thunderstorm this one was. Have fun out there!

I don't think I have seen that many deleted posts on such a short thread before. If that is not one sure has the look of one trying to be a wannabe.

Not sure about the tornado part, does not look like any tornado that I have ever seen. I have seen 5 to date. One just across the street from our house when I was a kid. One formed right over our place during the April outbrake in '74. That one hit an ice rink in Windsor, Canada. It brought the roof down on a curling match. Killed 8 if I remember right. It is for sure a truck stop. Layoutshooter
