ST. GEORGE —The summer of stormy and wild weather isn't done yet. Evidence of that came in the early evening Thursday when what appeared to be a funnel cloud – not quite a tornado – appeared over the Santa Clara-Ivins area.
The swirling, cloudy formation was seen around 6:10 p.m. and was caught on video by local resident Thomas Callister. While looking like a tornado, it remained high near the clouds and didn't reach the ground.
"We came around the corner and said, 'Wait, that looks like a tornado," Callister said. "We saw that thing spinning. The tail was forming and disappearing and forming."
Callister said he watched the funnel cloud sustain itself for at least 2-3 minutes.
