Funnel cloud observed over Exeter @ 1:15pm today (11th)

Captured it on video and photos.
It didn't reach down very far though but it was a real treat to
watch.

Yes, this seems to confirm something that has slightly worried me
....
that BBC TV weather presenters report a "tornado" when they
mean only a funnel cloud.

Of the three(?) reports in the last few days, do we know
if any of them actually touched down?
