An Incredible Waterspout Wreaks Havoc In Florida

So, for those who aren't farmiliar with what a waterspout itA waterspout is an intense columnar vortex that occurs over a body of water. Some are connected to a cumulus congest cloud, some to a cumuliform cloud and some to a cumulonimbus cloud. In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water. While it is often weaker than most of its land counterparts, stronger versions spawned by mesocyclones do occur. Most waterspouts do not suck up water; they are small and weak rotating columns of air over water.

While waterspouts form mostly in the tropics and subtropical areas,other areas also report waterspouts, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Great Lakes, Antarctica and on rare occasions, the Great Salt Lake. Although rare, waterspouts have been observed in connection with lake-effect snow precipitation bands. Waterspouts have a five-part life cycle: formation of a dark spot on the water surface, spiral pattern on the water surface, formation of a spray ring, development of the visible condensation funnel, and ultimately decay.

Here we have an intense feedback from the licensor: "I was getting ready to put some steaks on the grill, looking at the sky and I noticed it looked rather ominous. I ran back inside, asking Kathy to take our dog and head to the guest bathroom while I grabbed my cell phone and headed back to the balcony. While I got the phone unlocked and into video mode the waterspout started forming, but as it turned out we were able to catch early in it's transformation and caught it makes it way from the gulf, over Okaloosa Island, across the sound and into Fort Walton Beach proper."

Take a look as it does to become really intense and insane as this guy takes a really close shot of the action . All of this caught in this video occurred on April 22, 2018 / Fort Walton Beach, Florida, USA
