A funnel cloud was reportedly spotted in Cumbria, England, near Alston and Penrith, according to reports on Monday.

A photo showed the ominous funnel cloud but it’s unclear if it was a tornado, ITV said.

The cloud comes amid thundery rain showers across the region.

The cloud was located near Alston.

In order for it to be considered a tornado, it has to have touched the ground.
