Funnel Cloud Over Northern New Jersey

Can anyone here tell me if there were rotating thunderstorms at the time this funnel cloud was reported?

I heard about this. There was a photo on the wcbs880.com website. I'm pretty skeptical though. Looked a lot like steam rising from a smokestack.

Ok, I take it back. I just saw some video....not a smokestack. Looks very much like a funnel cloud. For reference to you flatlanders...the funnel was over Bayonne. This is the town where Tom Cruise lived in the War of the Worlds.

Looks waterspout-ish to me, with a translucent condensation tube. Sides look pretty laminar.

Yeah-and I know this place: this is the military ocean terminal in Bayonne. Cool pic. You're right-it does look like a waterspout. F0, maybe? :huh:

Even Conan O'Brien joked about it tonight...

" The National Weather Service issued a warning tonight as a funnel cloud was spotted coming down over New Jersey. Fortunately, the funnel received the warning just in time."
Must have been pick on Jersey night, as a few minutes later during the "In The Year 2000 " segment, came this one..." David Blaine will set the record for holding ones breath after his car breaks down in New Jersey for six days"

Maybe this happened as the cell made its way over the river? I remember it came through around 11AM where I work, and it had more kick to it than any previous storm I've seen here (which isn't saying much). But my view out of there is somewhat restricted and to the north, so I didn't see a whole lot.
