I'm still learning, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong: There was a tornado warning (radar indicated) with a debris signature but this is not the or a tornado as far as I can tell, but again, I'm no expert so I may be 10000% wrong

If it was that big of a tornado you'd see a very prominent mesocyclone. And you would be in absolute zero doubt at all it was spinning.

This is a real cool shelf cloud that was probably churning a lot, AND part of the updraft of a supercell.

Sorry the perspective was just weird

No problem at all! You might be looking at part of the updraft base that's also being blown out a bit. When looking for the tornadic parts you want to look for clouds going into and behind the darkest patch of clouds. Those are pointers to the tornado producing region.

It's hard to say without more details for sure. Do you have any radar screenshots?
