The correct term is a funnel cloud:
A funnel cloud is a funnel-shaped cloud of condensed water droplets, associated with a rotating column of wind and extending from the base of a cloud (usually a cumulonimbus or towering cumulus cloud) but not reaching the ground or a water surface.

If a funnel cloud touches the ground it becomes a tornado. Most tornadoes begin as funnel clouds, but many funnel clouds do not make ground contact and so do not become tornadoes.

...well pallie.....it was on the ground....pics doh lie..

x100

Yup, it did touch the ground.
I was in my car facing south by the Grand Bazaar lights when I first noticed it. It was when I almost got to the Caroni overpass I realised that it had touched the ground. I pulled over and I could see the dirt getting whipped up and thrown around and up from the base... It was damn cool to see, that's for sure!!!

very interesting - could you tell which area it touched town in? The rice fields in Caroni???[/quote]

From what I could tell, it looked so.. My girlfriend took some pics with her phone but the resolution wasn't good enough..I'm sorry I didn't have my camera with me, from my unobstructed vantage point, those shots would have been INSANE!

This is where it appeared to be..

TV6 had a few pics on their newscast tonight, some of them that were posted here including the one by Riaz Ali. One of their pics showed there was a touchdown - no doubt about that, and there was minor damage.

Thirty-six houses were affected by heavy rains over the weekend, the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) said yesterday.

In a "Situation Update" released at 12.30 p.m. the ODPM said the homes fell within four municipalities and all cases had been attended to by the respective authorities, including the Fire Service, regional corporations and the Ministry of Social Development.

In areas of South Trinidad, residents were repairing roofs and cleaning their damaged homes yesterday as well as counting their losses.

Residents of Mahabalsingh Branch Trace, Navet Village, Rio Claro, gave up Sunday lunches and family time to repair their roofs which had been blown away by high winds.

Gina Ramkissoon said she was lying on her bed when she heard the loud crashing sound. "It happened in a split second. Half of the roof was ripped off from my house. Several trees were also uprooted," she said.

Ramkissoon yesterday said she and her 17-year-old daughter Yudika were still traumatised by the incident. The family of five lost electronic items and appliances and a wall under the house was also destroyed.

Six other houses in the area were similarly affected.

The walls of Cecil Persad's wooden home were torn down by the strong winds. Eleven people were affected in his family and he estimated damage at $80,000.

As residents tried to salvage their belongings they spoke yesterday of their fear of being trapped as the only bridge leading out of the village was on the verge of being covered with water.

"We don't expect this water to go down until the next two to three days," Ramkissoon said.

In Barrackpore, residents were still marooned in their homes as floodwaters covered roads yesterday.

Residents were seen wading through knee and waist-high water to gain access to their houses.

Tiny twister touches Warrenville lightly

http://guardian.co.tt/news/general/2009 ... le-lightly

A whirling mini-tornado tore two sheets of galvanise off a Warrenville warehouse, and uprooted more than 200 yards of irrigation tubing from a garden yesterday.

Eyewitnesses said they saw a long, slender, funnel-like cloud in the sky just around 12.30 pm. â€œIt was twirling around something that looked like a thick black cable,â€
