Wall cloud rolled in on the southwest side of the house. Looked out the North side and saw a huge funnel cloud on the ground and rotating.
South side of Ely

First thing, this is not a wall cloud. Next, a funnel cloud is only a funnel cloud when it's in the air. As soon as it touches the ground it becomes a tornado. There were no reports of any funnel clouds or tornadoes with this storm around this area.
