According to the glossary of meteorology a tornado is defined as "a violently rotating column of air, pendant from a cumuliform cloud or underneath a cumuliform cloud, and often (but not always) visible as a funnel cloud."

In meteorological terms the vortex described above must connect to both the ground and the cloud base to be considered a tornado.
