Yes. The funnel of a tornado does not have to reach the ground for the circulation to touch down. If there is swirling debris on the ground beneath a funnel cloud then the tornado has touched down and, if it is more than just dirt being lifted, is probably doing damage.

What are the signs of tornadoes coming?

* Dark, often greenish sky. Sometimes one or more of the clouds turns greenish (a phenomenon caused by hail) indicating a tornado may develop. * Wall cloud, an isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm. The wall cloud is particularly suspect if it is rotating. * Large hail. Tornadoes are spawned from powerful thunderstorms and the most powerful thunderstorms produce large hail. Tornadoes frequently emerge from near the hail-producing portion of the storm. * Cloud of debris. An approaching cloud of debris can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel is not visible. * Funnel cloud. A visible rotating extension of the cloud base is a sign that a tornado may develop. * Roaring noise. The high winds of a tornado can cause a roar that is often compared with the sound of a freight train. * Tornadoes may occur near the trailing edge of a thunderstorm and be quite visible. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado. They may also be embedded in rain and not visible at all.

Could a sundial be used throughout the year?

A sundial can be used throughout the year, but its accuracy may vary depending on the season and the latitude of the location. Sundials are most accurate during the equinoxes, when the sun's path is directly overhead at noon. In locations closer to the poles, the accuracy of a sundial may decrease during the winter months when the sun's path is lower in the sky.

How does Mark portray God?

In Mark's Gospel, the focus was on Jesus, with very little reason to portray God. However, Mark did portray God in the passages on the baptism of Jesus and the transfiguration. In Mark 1:11, there came a voice out of heaven, saying Thou art my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. In Mark 9:7, a cloud overshadowed the disciples and a voice came out of the cloud. So, when Mark had to portray God, it was as a voice out of heaven or out of a cloud.
