Thunderstorm vicinity with clear skies, became thunderstorm within 5 miles with clear skies;
which became funnel cloud with clear skies; which led to tornado with clear skies. Those were
the official reports!  (Also, since the TCU was NW-E at 2352Z, and the TS was NW-E; it
seems that ATC was reporting a tornado from the TCU).
By the way, a passenger on a commercial airliner snapped this photo of the cell with the tornado, from 16,000 feet.
Does that look clear to you?
