BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK – The National Weather Service out of Salt Lake City reported a funnel cloud sighting over Bryce Canyon National Park Tuesday afternoon.
The funnel cloud was photographed from a western vantage point at the Bryce Canyon Visitor Center at 12:35 p.m., according to a tweet from NWS Salt Lake City.
Another tweet from the NWS said the funnel cloud is not believed to have touched down.
A similar funnel cloud was spotted over Enoch Sunday.
As stormy weather continues across the state, as many as a dozen or more funnel clouds have been reported in Utah over the past week, Eric Shoening, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City, told St. George News in an interview Monday.
Shoening said funnel clouds are fairly rare in Utah. A funnel cloud is not classified as a tornado until it touches the ground.

Yep, the end of the world is definitely coming.
We all know some people we would have liked to have seen sucked up in that funnel cloud. Corrupt public officials for a start 😉
