Waterspouts, Florida

Think of a tornado, but over the water. Waterspouts fall into two categories: tornadic and fair weather. Tornadic waterspouts can move from land to water or water to land and potentially cause as much damage as a regular tornado while fair-weather waterspouts start in the water and typically go away when they reach land. The most common sighting of waterspouts is in Florida, but Florida isn’t the only place waterspouts can be witnessed.
