With no clear cut funnel visible above the dust swirl, this may be what we call a gustnado which is an area of rotation that develops in the outflow of a strong thunderstorm.

For me, it was a tornado.
:roll: :)
It is also possible to have a tornado with no wall cloud present. Research and video tape evidence strongly suggest that many tornadoes spin up at the ground level and grow upwards to the wall cloud or thunderstorm base....and in doing so, are nearly invisible. It may take several minutes for the "funnel cloud" to form inside the tornado. Look for dirt and debris violently rotating at ground level for confirmation.

Tchau!

I am very much aware that not all tornadoes develop from a wall cloud as most of those I have seen here on my chases here in AZ have done exactly that. The type of tornado you refer to is often call a landspout and forms in a zone of low level vorticity under the flanking or inflow line of a large thunderstorm (other tornadoes form from cold air funnels which result from the spin and instability associated with a cold core ULL). The main reason why I think this event may be a gustnado is that the activity seems to be clearly associated with the shelf cloud and the outflow boundary of the thunderstorm as seen in the photographs. This is not to say that gustnadoes can't be damaging and in infrequent occasions they can even develop into landspout tornadoes in their own right-we have seen such occasions in AZ chiefly in areas where terrain deflects the outflow winds in a manner to enhance the development of low level vorticity.

A gustnado has rotation on the ground as well. The key to identification is whether or not rotation made it to the cloud base or not since a tornado has to have rotation connecting the cloud and ground by definition. Maybe some other photos of the storm show this-this is where video is better than still photography since then there's no doubt.

First glance to me suggests that the storm has devloped a shelf cloud and has therefore become outflow dominant. Cold air following away from the storm can quite qickly spin up gustnadoes

Yes the storm does look outflow dominant which is why I am thinking gustnadoes.
