 Didn't see any general topic forums so figured I'd post in this one. I've never seen a water spout before in my life, and I've lived here near Wilmington, NC for all of my life. This was right outside my back door. Figured it was too good not to share. IP: Logged |

I miss wilmington. I nearly settled down there at one point. No body boarding in Kansas, but I always secretly hoped a hurricane would come in and destroy the multi-million dollar houses along cape fear. I feel bad for that.I think it'd go better in lindaland central. Very cool. IP: Logged |

There are two general topic forums, Lindaland Central 2.0 and Hearth And Home. Read the descriptions, and let me know where you want me to move it to. ------------------

Wow. If I wish I was there. I would be so scared but enjoying it. I always had a fascination with water spouts and tornados. Had many dreams about them since I was little. They lasted up until I was eighteen. By the time I was a teenager when a tornado would appear in a dream i'd be all "again?...BRING IT ON!" and i'd run up to the after that the dreams ended. I learned to lucid dream for a while but it was a waste of time. I would also be aware of dreaming, think about tornados and one would come up! IP: Logged |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_spout quote:
A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water.[1] While it is often weaker than most of its land counterparts, stronger versions spawned by mesocyclones do occur.[2][3] Waterspouts do not suck up water; the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets formed by condensation.[4] While many waterspouts form in the tropics, locations at higher latitude within temperate zones also report waterspouts, such as Europe and the Great Lakes. Although rare, waterspouts have been observed in connection with lake-effect snow precipitation bands.

Nice capture of it in action! Water spouts are a fairly common occurance here off the Great Lakes. Last Sunday on the way home, we counted six of them over the bay and wham, the worst winds and pounding rain imaginable rocked us and drove us off the road.(nasty weather was predicted but went anyway) They generally pass quickly but can be intense in the moment of a direct hit.. ------------------
