Water Spouts

OK soo i was courious about what water spouts were and looked like, an dthey turned out to be preatty cool... take a look.

A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a 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 meso cyclones do occur. Contrary to popular belief that waterspouts suck up water, the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets formed by condensation. While many waterspouts form in the tropics, locations at higher latitude within temperate zones also report waterspouts, such as Europe and the Great Lakes.
