Big storm clouds hovering over the sea. How hard is it raining out there? But wait, what is that thin vertical spiral I see slowly moving across the horizon, hanging down from the clouds? Could this be my first tornado sighting? (Just click on the image and tell me its not!)
Ciao! What a picture! It's a waterspout, which is like a tornado on the water. I used to see them occasionally growing up on the east coast of Florida.
ReplyDeleteSure looks like a waterspout to me! From what town is it taken?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's wild!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura and Peter for the proper terminology -- water spout! This photo was taken from where I live in Aci Castello.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and thrilling, though it must have been a little scary at first not knowing it was a waterspout - I wouldn't have known either. Magical weather ... xo, j.
ReplyDeleteI seen this too, from my balcony, it was quite fascinating watching with binoculars, great picture......
ReplyDeleteWater spout? First time I hear of them... Incredible!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a waterspout either. What a fantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteThis weather is wild isn't it!! After alost 5 years I've never seen it rain so hard this early into fall. Great for my garden... horrible for muddy puppy paws.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!!
Sweet shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing capture!
ReplyDeleteAre waterspouts the same as tornadoes over land? Beautiful, but still scary, I think.
