I actually saw a waterspout swarm in the fall of 2023 when I was cleaning up trash on the beach of Lake Erie. I was on a bus heading for the beach when I saw a fully formed one emerge from the treeline. We were completely glued to the windows. All two hours we were volunteering on that beach, waterspouts continued to form. Most of them were but a funnel cloud, but a few touched the water. I was only able to capture the funnels unfortunately, for my phone was on the bus for the duration of the cleanup. I counted around twenty-six of them, but there were most likely more that day.
@yellowbacon69 O yeah. Just when we got to the beach there were seven funnel clouds over the lake. Every twenty minutes or so they would dissipate, and another ten or so minutes later another group would form. I was slacking a bit because I kept looking out for fully formed ones. I do want to reiterate that I only saw three or four fully-formed waterspouts. All the rest were just funnels. You could see the water being drawn up, though. It is a crying shame that most never actualized.
@ It was relatively clear out, though the sun only poked through a handful of times (that said, the sun was shining further out beyond the waterspouts, so it was almost as if they were being illuminated by the sky). This is only slightly related to the topic at hand, but I would recommend visiting the lake in the fall. Due to the cold temperatures in the air but the relatively warm water, the lake forms a blanket of clouds over itself. This often means that the sky could be cloudless over land, but the lake is completely blanketed. It is such a strange sight, but beautiful at the same time. You just look into the sky, and there is a wall of grey in only one direction that never moves. I guess that is a bit more ominous than not, especially when you cannot see the lake itself.
That’s so cool! I’m jealous, big storms are always happening but it seems like actually catching these events is pretty rare. Count yourself lucky lol.
Almost got drowned by a water spout awhile back. My friends and I were in a canoe in a dead water and a massive water spout appeared out of no where, came RIGHT at us, and violently spun us in circles and eventually stopped. We thought the canoe was going to flip at any moment, it was insane. Just the fact that in this HUGE dead water, it had to appear right next to us and came straight to us haha (We were up in northern Maine).
@@Cookiedoggy3545 dead water just means it's very very still, no wind making any ripples or waves, and no current/flow breaking the surface tension. the water's surface is flat and unmoving, only being disturbed by the paddling of a boat, or a bird flying in or out of the water.
More people need to touch on these; I feel like waterspouts need more attention. Thank you so much for analyzing them Swegle; I've always wanted to learn more about them!
Dude you gotta do a whole separate video covering waterspouts over the Great Lakes. Being a person who chases these over Lake Erie, the Great Lakes hold an entire community of spotters that especially contribute towards research for the ICWR! Do some deep diving on Great Lakes spouts because it’s like a whole other world waterspout-wise! Also a lot of the rare waterspout phenomena you cover in this video actually happens commonly over the Great Lakes and a lot of us have great pictures and videos of it!
Are there RUclips channels covering footage of this? I would be interested to see! (I'm from Nevada -- every once in a blue moon there's a weak waterspout over Lake Tahoe, and it always got me excited to see it in the news! 😄😄)
I live in Grand Rapids, and run over to the lake often when waterspouts are forecast, and see them most years. I do't know where he got his temperatures though, the lake doesn't get 90 degrees lol
7:10 This is the 2011 Springfield, MA EF3. When it crossed the river in that video it was less than 3 miles from my house. We don't have strong tornadoes up here very often and I rarely see this one get talked about so it's always interesting seeing where it pops up. It's also the tornado that inspired the June First RUclips channel, which I definitely recommend people check out.
Waterspouts not uncommon in Hawaii. During the years I lived there I happened to witness two of them. Both were between Maui and Kahoolawe during summer months. A really cool phenomenon, even from several miles away.
August, September, and October are waterspout season in the Great Lakes. National Weather Service puts out warnings for them when conditions are right. One day I am hoping to see one over Lake Erie or Lake Ontario.... haven't been in the right place at the right time yet.
Yooo Im so glad I'm not the only one who has these feelings about waterspouts. I literally had multiple nightmares about being surrounded by numerous waterspouts. They scare me more than tornadoes for some reason.
I also have waterspout nightmares. But the whackiest nightmares are the ones where friggin snow tornadoes appear everywhere. Like what the hell is even that?
I wonder if the extra fear comes from the idea of not only dealing with something akin to a tornado, but you don't even have solid ground on which to try to flee or under which you can build shelters and hide. Not to mention that air being sucked into a tornado is scary enough, but water in its own right can be its own dangerous force of nature even without insane winds thrown in. It may feel like it's a double whammy... That you could be pulled in or up not just by the strength of the air, but that the very water itself would be prone to drag you along as well. I've never had any waterspout fears but I have also never lived by much water. If i imagine feeling any extra fear toward waterspouts, for me the complete and utter lack of any control seems the scariest part. You can't brace yourself against turbulent seas or waves even in smaller waterways. You can't bury yourself under anything properly, you can't anchor yourself to anything solid. It seems like the entire world would be against you
The experience of watching waterspout footage puts me on edge in ways very few other natural phenomena can. It feels like my body is locked between fight, flight, and freeze for every second I see them.
A rare good channel nowadays. No annoying music. Actual photos/videos not some random stock stuff. Actually a human rather than an emotionless AI voice.
Sometime around 1985, I was down in Houston visiting my sister. She was going to the woman's clinic at UTMB in Galveston for a checkup on her pregnancy. She was in the clinic and I was sitting in the waiting room. I was standing at the window just looking at the water in the bay. I saw something come out of a cloud and go into the water and it looked like a tornado. Growing up in the Texas panhandle, I've seen my share, but this was in the water and I had no idea about water spouts (not too common on the plains). I'm just standing there watching when someone looked out the window, screamed "water spout" and the clinic staff moved us into the hallway away from the window. I asked my sister about that later and she said it's a tornado on the water and yes, it didn't look like it was moving, which I now know means it's coming right at us. It dissipated before it got onshore but I got my first, and only, look at a waterspout that day.
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought Waterspouts were a bit scary. Ever since Swegle did the "Different types of Whirlwinds" video I was just constantly hooked on the Waterspout topic.
I live in Nebraska and actually got to see a waterspout. in 2016 a waterspout formed over Lake Manawa. A small lake of 1.158 sq mi (3.00 km2). It only lasted ~10 minutes.
my favorite channel posted! definitely the channel that entertains me the most. been apart of the channel for awhile now and i love the new studio as it progresses! :)
Actually saw a tornadic waterspout when I was in school one day. It was part of the March 14th outbreak, more specifically the tornado that hit Milton. I was in school that day and it was around 1:15 when my class saw it. They issued a tornado warning for the area and we had to go hide behind the bleechers inside of a maintance hallway. The tornado crossed over the Ohio river and it looked really cool
Seen a few waterspouts over the years. Have also seen huge dust tornadoes and sandstorms. None of these things actually look real when you see them. You cant comprehend their scale properly.
Maybe it’s my growing up in the Great Lakes, but I’ve always found waterspouts to be beautiful. I’ve seen a lot (and even have some videos on my channel), and I can’t help but be in awe whenever I see one. Of course, I’m on the shoreline and out of harm’s way. A lot worse if you’re caught in one.
I have a photograph of two waterspouts with one having a loop. My father has an enlarged version framed outside his bedroom next to some sea creatures he discovered during his 50 years as a marine biologist. I’ve counted 14 in one day with visible condensation funnels from cloud base to water just cruising on by on a partly cloudy and totally awesome day off Hatteras Island NC.
Great video and topic. In the summer of 1989, I was a freshman in college and had a summer job in the Gulf of Mexico/America :). I worked offshore on various natural gas platforms - spending 14 days out at a time. Typically, I was out between 30 miles and close to 100 miles offshore. I do recall a couple of times multiple waterspouts forming close to our platform - up to 5 or 6 at a time. I had no camera unfortunately. I do recall one hitting the platform and it moved a couple of things that weren't tied down. Very cool for sure.
Thanks for validating my feelings! I'm from Europe but lived in Indonesia for almost a decade during my childhood and early teens. I've seen them so often yet they always freak me out. I vividly remember the first time seeing them at age 6, there were like 4 of them on the horizon. I was so scared and thought "we have to flee away from the coast and seek shelter!!" But no, instead my dad parked next to the beach and my family got out and walked closer towards the water to admire them! I was in such a panic, literally scared for our lives. Later on my parents told me they did that so I wouldn't get an irrational fear of them, turns out that bit of "exposure therapy" did just that.
I remember when I was still a kid in elementary school, we had tornado watches on 4th of July but we still went to see the fireworks anyway because it wasnt raining and they didnt call them off or anything. We were watching the fireworks and the sirens went off and they set off all the fireworks like they do for the grand finale. Everybody went running and its started pouring cats & dogs. I even lost my parents in the chaos but I was glad I remembered where we parked. We ended up giving this lady and her toddler a ride back home because she walked down to the riverfront. Found out that night or the next day that it was a water spout. It was nearly 30 years ago I think. I don't remember what year it was... I could have been 9 to 12.
I love this channel, man. Really brings me back to my childhood when i used to borrow every book on tornadoes, weather, and space books in my local library
I live very close to a cooling lake for a nuclear plant (3 miles) in Illinois and see waterspouts all year around. It's wild to be plowing snow and looking at a waterspout.
Last year, this here frog-country of mine (the Netherlands) had a bout of fair-weather waterspouts. Being less than a mile from the coast, I had front row seats at the time to see it go down. It was honestly kind of magical to see them drop down and then eventually dissipate in to nothing. Equally magical to me is how they can look so serene and calm from a distance, belying the extreme forces inside. Thanks for another great vid!
I draw tornadoes for fun in my free time and waterspouts are SO COOL, it disappoints me they dont get the same attention, I would also like to see a video about photogenic tornadoes and maybe a list of your favorites. I love your vids and am a swegle fan through and through. Thank you for making the content. Love from denton❤
Make a video on this: The Outbreak Intensity Score (OIS), introduced by meteorologist Thomas P. Grazulis in November 2023. The OIS is a new method to classify and rank tornado outbreaks based on their intensity and impact. Grazulis detailed this scale in his publication Significant Tornadoes 1974-2022. I like this idea, but i think having part of the scale based on miles the tornadoes are on the ground and other metrics. Hypothetical: if 10 tornadoes are on the ground for 50 miles each or 20 tornadoes on the ground for 2 miles each, which is more significant?
I watched multiple water spouts hanging out together off shore in the keys around 2015. It's been an environment in my dreams ever since. Not a nightmare... But definitely an intense dream. I'll never forget that day.
Got to see a waterspout when I was a teenager growing up on Lake Ontario. There were thunderstorms passing over the lake when I saw out of the corner of my eye a faint dancing column of water about 10-20 miles in the distance. I gazed at it for about a minute or so, and then it dissipated. Was pretty neat!
I remember in 2015, during a pretty bad storm coming home from school, I counted over 20 water sprouts along a 40km stretch of water.. was the most eery and crazy thing I'd ever seen in my life..
The only natural phenomenon I have ever witnessed in person, It was on a trip I took in 2016, I was on the bus when at a stop I looked out the window and saw one of these from afar, There were some houses on the way so I couldn't see where his base was, I didn't have a cell phone at the time so unfortunately I couldn't record that moment.
I live on the Outer Banks of NC and have had multiple encounters, sometimes up close, with waterspouts. They are truly terrifying especially when you are several miles offshore is a tiny little boat. The closest encounter was a very small fair weather waterspout that developed about a quarter miles from me, moved onshore and right over top of me while working in my yard. Winds gusted to around 50ish mph for a few seconds, pelted me with some leaves, and that was it Terrifying, but beautiful
When are big storms like that most frequent out there? We visited the area this summer (beautiful place btw) and it was nothing but sunny skies. Weirdly enough I was kind of disappointed because I love storms and ocean storms are especially impressive. I feel like I’m the only person on earth that would of rather had bad weather on a vacation lol.
Witnessed 6 water spouts in 10-15 minutes off the Kent coast while working on my Dads charter boat a dozen or so years ago. 5 formed, 1 after the other from a long, narrow strip of cloud, then 1 of the anglers drew our attention to another that formed in a totally different area, as we were all looking in the direction the first 5 had appeared. None of them were fully formed, but you could clearly see all the funnel clouds and the water being violently disturbed, and a lot of spray forming the bases. Weather was fairly calm and clear with just a few clouds
Waterspouts in particular have always interested me because I feel like they could be weak enough to actually survive being inside of. I've had several dreams where I would be on a beach during a storm, and waterspouts would form and move onto shore. Since they're so weak I could literally stand directly under the funnel and look straight into the eye of the vortex. It kept me thinking: COULD you actually stand under a weak fair-weather waterspout and look up into its core? I know you'd have to deal with constantly being blasted by spray, sand and whatever else the spout picked up, but I have a feeling that if you protected your face enough and was able to stand your ground, you could be able to stand in the eye of a waterspout and look up into it. It'd make for some gnarly footage, and said footage could be used to better understand and study how tornadoes and other natural vortexes work.
Those waterspouts do look terrifying, but to me they also look indescribably beautiful. Storms and weather are one of, if not my favorite natural phenomenon. Storms look so otherworldly and beautiful. Waterspouts are among those natural phenomena that are incredibly mainly beautiful because of how ghostly and alien they look. I remember years ago (maybe in Florida?) me and my family saw at least one very beautiful waterspout. I live on the East Coast (in Coastal Georgia) of the United States, and despite the unpredictability of much of the weather here, to my knowledge waterspouts can be pretty rare. Though I don't go to the beach that often despite how close I live to it (without traffic and as the crow flies, I most likely live within 5-8 minutes of the ocean), so the ocean might have a lot more waterspouts there. My Mama often knows more than me though on weather (she's the main reason I love weather so much in the first place). Anyways, nice video! I got to learn new things about waterspouts so thank you for that! God Bless! -Alankuhaa Samuelkah Fischum Eircaru
When I was in Belize (January 2015) I saw dozens of water spouts form all around us while we were out scuba diving in the reefs (I was too sick to scuba dive so just watched all the spouts from the boat). Easily over two dozen over the course of the couple hours we were out. The boat's tour guide didn't seem worried about it, so this entire time I had assumed this was normal for the area. It was actually quite lovely to watch, even if it made me a bit nervous.
The Sebago Lake, Maine area is a hot spot for tornadoes and tornadic waterspouts! There was a massive one there on July 1, 2017 during the state's largest tornado outbreak on record. There's usually one brief waterspout on the lake every year or so.
America has a "New England"; why doesn't the President intend a takeover of the UK, the British Commonwealth, and call the island of England, "New AMERICA"??
Great video! I know several people who have seen a waterspout (I live in Florida). And I lived in Miami when the large waterspout was there. I was freaked out. I knew nothing about tornadoes (except they terrified me).
Jörmungandr! (My first thought) Another excellent video. Every time you have a new one.. I'm there! I also love your voice.. thank you also for not using AI or even cloning your voice. It's another reason I love watching!
I got to witness a water spout back in November as our cruise ship was outrunning a hurricane in the gulf. We had a great view of it for a good long time and I was in awe. Spending my childhood in tornado alley, we had a few times we had to take shelter, but I never lived through an actual tornado. It was enough to give me lifelong tonado nightmares though. Seeing the water spout up close like that really helped ease my tornado anxiety. A very cool experience
Waterspouts scared me so badly as a kid that the fear invented a memory of The Wind Waker where the border of the great sea turned into a whole field of them if you tried sailing out of the Great Sea.
I was with my family at sting ray bay which I believe is in either Cancun or Cozumel. While swimming with the stingrays, which for your knowledge we’re used to people, I noticed that the waves we’re getting bigger and the weather began to turn. Keep in mind, the closest piece of land was at least a few miles away. The depth was around 15 feet but there were shallower areas and you could go back to the boat to rest. I looked and there were three large thunderstorms surrounding us in the distance. The closest one to us had two fully formed fair weather waterspouts and one that was about half formed. They disappeared about 4 minutes later.
I was once stopped at a raised draw bridge on the New Jersey Shore and we watched a water spout pass by perfectly through the opened section of the bridge. This was in the early 2000's. As far as Ik no one was hurt and no significant damage was done. This is still the 1st and only water spout I have ever seen in person despite living on an island along the Atlantic coast my entire life.
At 30 seconds - that was an AWESOME drawing of the spout looping. It gives a sense of texture and muscularity lacking in other drawings (and even photos). Yet real ones are beguilingly silky and beautiful of shape. I saw a scruffy, minor waterspout off the Scottish East Coast when I was a kid and that was enough to get me hooked - and, boy, would I loooove to see a cluster. Item one for the bucket list I've never made?
One of or maybe even the deadliest Tornado in Germany was actually a waterspout. On 9th September 1913, an Airship crashed during a Tornado near the Island of Helgoland (Heligoland) killing 14 soldiers. Later, a Storm Event, maybe a Watersput, sunk a ship on Lake Constance on 3rd May 1931 killing 10. A Tornado on Lake Zeuthen (presumably a Tornado which moved from Land onto water) caused a Shipwreck on 21st July 1901 killing 7.
i personally saw the waterspout at 1:40 i was obsessed with storm chasers and anytime it would rain i would ask my mom if there was gonna be a tornado, she always said no, but we were out to eat when we saw that one, i of course asked because it did rain. she said no and moments later i saw that funnel forming in thr sky. it was fun
i saw a waterspout near pensacola florida in the late 2000s. as a kid who grew up in the midwest i knew how dangerous tornadoes were and how much damage they could do and i was terrified because i thought it was a tornado. it was MASSIVE, i still remember craning my neck up all the way to the heavens to see the very top of it.

My family lived in Forest Park at the time. It was such a surreal and unusual storm for that part of the county.

Depends on what type of waterspout, but long, tall slim ones are the scariest imo.. They're just so ghostly-like

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought Waterspouts were a bit scary. Ever since Swegle did the "Different types of Whirlwinds" video I was just constantly hooked on the Waterspout topic.

I live in Nebraska and actually got to see a waterspout. in 2016 a waterspout formed over Lake Manawa. A small lake of 1.158 sq mi (3.00 km2). It only lasted ~10 minutes.
I didn't know that was even possible, as a fellow Nebraskan, GBR!
Can't believe waterspouts hate tech billionaires, still rip to those 7 lives.

@khole5809 still a terrible way to go r.i.p
While I’m not religious I could totally see this being recorded as a miracle/act of God’s wrath like 300 years ago

my favorite channel posted! definitely the channel that entertains me the most. been apart of the channel for awhile now and i love the new studio as it progresses! :)
Me too
Homestly, i love these videos because they feel like talking with someone and them pulling pictures up on their phone whilst doing so. Love them.
Actually saw a tornadic waterspout when I was in school one day. It was part of the March 14th outbreak, more specifically the tornado that hit Milton. I was in school that day and it was around 1:15 when my class saw it. They issued a tornado warning for the area and we had to go hide behind the bleechers inside of a maintance hallway. The tornado crossed over the Ohio river and it looked really cool
0:34 That’s the captain of the RMS Titanic, Captain Edward J. Smith.
Indeed
Seen a few waterspouts over the years.
Have also seen huge dust tornadoes and sandstorms.
None of these things actually look real when you see them. You cant comprehend their scale properly.
I hate to sound like a dick but dust tornadoes are not dust tornadoes they are called dust devils.
Dust Devil not dust tornado
Maybe it’s my growing up in the Great Lakes, but I’ve always found waterspouts to be beautiful. I’ve seen a lot (and even have some videos on my channel), and I can’t help but be in awe whenever I see one.
Of course, I’m on the shoreline and out of harm’s way. A lot worse if you’re caught in one.
0:45 just an awesome description of vortex breakdown from an era where nobody knew what it was, spectacular quote
I literally just watched his whole Raid ad out of boredom.
(Ad starts). "Move hand and skip ad? Nah I don't have the energy for that right now."
I have a photograph of two waterspouts with one having a loop. My father has an enlarged version framed outside his bedroom next to some sea creatures he discovered during his 50 years as a marine biologist. I’ve counted 14 in one day with visible condensation funnels from cloud base to water just cruising on by on a partly cloudy and totally awesome day off Hatteras Island NC.
You should post it
@ I am when I get Wi-Fi and a better way to record videos. This phone is $15 a month and is slow AF.
1:59 congrats! I think the raid sponsorship is the official RUclipsr initiation. It’s been great watching the channel grow, Swegle.
Imagine being in the middle of the ocean and then suddenly being surrounded by multiple water tornadoes.
Hi Sweg! Going through some serious depression but seeing a new vid from you boosts my mood. Thanks. ❤

Great video and topic. In the summer of 1989, I was a freshman in college and had a summer job in the Gulf of Mexico/America :). I worked offshore on various natural gas platforms - spending 14 days out at a time. Typically, I was out between 30 miles and close to 100 miles offshore. I do recall a couple of times multiple waterspouts forming close to our platform - up to 5 or 6 at a time. I had no camera unfortunately. I do recall one hitting the platform and it moved a couple of things that weren't tied down. Very cool for sure.
You're funny : )
It's the Gulf of Mexico. It will always be the Gulf of Mexico, despite what the orange manchild says.
It's not easy to believe someone's story when you can't even get the name of the body of water in question correct. Jus' sayin'.
I always felt this way about water spouts! I have so many dreams of them whenever I'm stressed out. Thank you for making a video on this. ❤
Thanks for validating my feelings! I'm from Europe but lived in Indonesia for almost a decade during my childhood and early teens. I've seen them so often yet they always freak me out. I vividly remember the first time seeing them at age 6, there were like 4 of them on the horizon. I was so scared and thought "we have to flee away from the coast and seek shelter!!" But no, instead my dad parked next to the beach and my family got out and walked closer towards the water to admire them! I was in such a panic, literally scared for our lives. Later on my parents told me they did that so I wouldn't get an irrational fear of them, turns out that bit of "exposure therapy" did just that.
I remember when I was still a kid in elementary school, we had tornado watches on 4th of July but we still went to see the fireworks anyway because it wasnt raining and they didnt call them off or anything. We were watching the fireworks and the sirens went off and they set off all the fireworks like they do for the grand finale. Everybody went running and its started pouring cats & dogs. I even lost my parents in the chaos but I was glad I remembered where we parked. We ended up giving this lady and her toddler a ride back home because she walked down to the riverfront. Found out that night or the next day that it was a water spout. It was nearly 30 years ago I think. I don't remember what year it was... I could have been 9 to 12.
I love this channel, man. Really brings me back to my childhood when i used to borrow every book on tornadoes, weather, and space books in my local library
I live very close to a cooling lake for a nuclear plant (3 miles) in Illinois and see waterspouts all year around. It's wild to be plowing snow and looking at a waterspout.
Official RUclipsr right here. A raid sponsorship is basically like getting knighted... Only you get paid, so its waaay better lol
Absolutely loved that you used the Donkey Kong Country water level music over one of the waterspout videos. It's my favorite video game music.
Last year, this here frog-country of mine (the Netherlands) had a bout of fair-weather waterspouts. Being less than a mile from the coast, I had front row seats at the time to see it go down. It was honestly kind of magical to see them drop down and then eventually dissipate in to nothing. Equally magical to me is how they can look so serene and calm from a distance, belying the extreme forces inside.
Thanks for another great vid!
I draw tornadoes for fun in my free time and waterspouts are SO COOL, it disappoints me they dont get the same attention, I would also like to see a video about photogenic tornadoes and maybe a list of your favorites. I love your vids and am a swegle fan through and through. Thank you for making the content. Love from denton❤
I love those ancient/vintage illustrations you've been using to your videos! Keep it up man❤️🔥
Make a video on this: The Outbreak Intensity Score (OIS), introduced by meteorologist Thomas P. Grazulis in November 2023. The OIS is a new method to classify and rank tornado outbreaks based on their intensity and impact. Grazulis detailed this scale in his publication Significant Tornadoes 1974-2022.
I like this idea, but i think having part of the scale based on miles the tornadoes are on the ground and other metrics. Hypothetical: if 10 tornadoes are on the ground for 50 miles each or 20 tornadoes on the ground for 2 miles each, which is more significant?
I watched multiple water spouts hanging out together off shore in the keys around 2015. It's been an environment in my dreams ever since. Not a nightmare... But definitely an intense dream. I'll never forget that day.
Ive seen a few waterspouts growing up on the gulf coast of Florida. Theyre very neat.
Honestly I'm so glad that I found your channel I came for the content but stayed for the easy to listen to voice
Heeeeck yes a tornado-esq video right before bed??????????? with CREEPY in the title????? EXCELLENT

Got to see a waterspout when I was a teenager growing up on Lake Ontario. There were thunderstorms passing over the lake when I saw out of the corner of my eye a faint dancing column of water about 10-20 miles in the distance. I gazed at it for about a minute or so, and then it dissipated. Was pretty neat!
8:34 is no one else absolutely horrified at this way of dying? Like imagine getting suddenly teleported to such a circumstance
I remember in 2015, during a pretty bad storm coming home from school, I counted over 20 water sprouts along a 40km stretch of water.. was the most eery and crazy thing I'd ever seen in my life..

I remember seeing one of them waterspouts on a boat before, still gives me nightmares even to this day
The only natural phenomenon I have ever witnessed in person, It was on a trip I took in 2016, I was on the bus when at a stop I looked out the window and saw one of these from afar, There were some houses on the way so I couldn't see where his base was, I didn't have a cell phone at the time so unfortunately I couldn't record that moment.
Dude that's awesomely terrifying 😳
I saw the thumbnail and immediately thought about the sky islands in One Piece 😅 cool video
I live on the Outer Banks of NC and have had multiple encounters, sometimes up close, with waterspouts. They are truly terrifying especially when you are several miles offshore is a tiny little boat. The closest encounter was a very small fair weather waterspout that developed about a quarter miles from me, moved onshore and right over top of me while working in my yard. Winds gusted to around 50ish mph for a few seconds, pelted me with some leaves, and that was it Terrifying, but beautiful
When are big storms like that most frequent out there? We visited the area this summer (beautiful place btw) and it was nothing but sunny skies. Weirdly enough I was kind of disappointed because I love storms and ocean storms are especially impressive. I feel like I’m the only person on earth that would of rather had bad weather on a vacation lol.
Witnessed 6 water spouts in 10-15 minutes off the Kent coast while working on my Dads charter boat a dozen or so years ago. 5 formed, 1 after the other from a long, narrow strip of cloud, then 1 of the anglers drew our attention to another that formed in a totally different area, as we were all looking in the direction the first 5 had appeared. None of them were fully formed, but you could clearly see all the funnel clouds and the water being violently disturbed, and a lot of spray forming the bases. Weather was fairly calm and clear with just a few clouds
Waterspouts in particular have always interested me because I feel like they could be weak enough to actually survive being inside of. I've had several dreams where I would be on a beach during a storm, and waterspouts would form and move onto shore. Since they're so weak I could literally stand directly under the funnel and look straight into the eye of the vortex.
It kept me thinking: COULD you actually stand under a weak fair-weather waterspout and look up into its core? I know you'd have to deal with constantly being blasted by spray, sand and whatever else the spout picked up, but I have a feeling that if you protected your face enough and was able to stand your ground, you could be able to stand in the eye of a waterspout and look up into it. It'd make for some gnarly footage, and said footage could be used to better understand and study how tornadoes and other natural vortexes work.
Those waterspouts do look terrifying, but to me they also look indescribably beautiful. Storms and weather are one of, if not my favorite natural phenomenon. Storms look so otherworldly and beautiful. Waterspouts are among those natural phenomena that are incredibly mainly beautiful because of how ghostly and alien they look. I remember years ago (maybe in Florida?) me and my family saw at least one very beautiful waterspout. I live on the East Coast (in Coastal Georgia) of the United States, and despite the unpredictability of much of the weather here, to my knowledge waterspouts can be pretty rare. Though I don't go to the beach that often despite how close I live to it (without traffic and as the crow flies, I most likely live within 5-8 minutes of the ocean), so the ocean might have a lot more waterspouts there. My Mama often knows more than me though on weather (she's the main reason I love weather so much in the first place). Anyways, nice video! I got to learn new things about waterspouts so thank you for that! God Bless! -Alankuhaa Samuelkah Fischum Eircaru
Also, congrats on your sponsorship, Swegle!
I watched every second, did not skip. Hope you get many more.
Excellent choice of music for this video. Also the illustrations depicting the waterspouts are so beautiful! Hauntingly beautiful. Great video!
Waterspouts are beautiful and creepy at the same time

8:00 that guy got acquitted of charges, and then got ACTUALLY SMITTEN. Amazing.
Also spouts are absolutely gorgeous
When I was in Belize (January 2015) I saw dozens of water spouts form all around us while we were out scuba diving in the reefs (I was too sick to scuba dive so just watched all the spouts from the boat). Easily over two dozen over the course of the couple hours we were out. The boat's tour guide didn't seem worried about it, so this entire time I had assumed this was normal for the area. It was actually quite lovely to watch, even if it made me a bit nervous.

The Sebago Lake, Maine area is a hot spot for tornadoes and tornadic waterspouts! There was a massive one there on July 1, 2017 during the state's largest tornado outbreak on record. There's usually one brief waterspout on the lake every year or so.
Gulf of America hahaha that was a good one to add in there! love the vids keep up the great work!
I dunno why the wiki are such petty people 😂
At least they'll acknowledge that whales are affected by offshore wind farms?

Great video! I know several people who have seen a waterspout (I live in Florida). And I lived in Miami when the large waterspout was there. I was freaked out. I knew nothing about tornadoes (except they terrified me).

Aw heck yeah! Tornado time!
I got to witness a water spout back in November as our cruise ship was outrunning a hurricane in the gulf. We had a great view of it for a good long time and I was in awe. Spending my childhood in tornado alley, we had a few times we had to take shelter, but I never lived through an actual tornado. It was enough to give me lifelong tonado nightmares though. Seeing the water spout up close like that really helped ease my tornado anxiety. A very cool experience
I honestly bet that our primitive ancestors saw this and shivered
"Ooga, Booga" which means
"Oh, fk! The world is ending!"😅
Waterspouts scared me so badly as a kid that the fear invented a memory of The Wind Waker where the border of the great sea turned into a whole field of them if you tried sailing out of the Great Sea.

I was with my family at sting ray bay which I believe is in either Cancun or Cozumel. While swimming with the stingrays, which for your knowledge we’re used to people, I noticed that the waves we’re getting bigger and the weather began to turn. Keep in mind, the closest piece of land was at least a few miles away. The depth was around 15 feet but there were shallower areas and you could go back to the boat to rest. I looked and there were three large thunderstorms surrounding us in the distance. The closest one to us had two fully formed fair weather waterspouts and one that was about half formed. They disappeared about 4 minutes later.
I was once stopped at a raised draw bridge on the New Jersey Shore and we watched a water spout pass by perfectly through the opened section of the bridge. This was in the early 2000's. As far as Ik no one was hurt and no significant damage was done. This is still the 1st and only water spout I have ever seen in person despite living on an island along the Atlantic coast my entire life.
Tornadoes are Freddy Krueger.
Waterspouts are Michael Myers.
At 30 seconds - that was an AWESOME drawing of the spout looping. It gives a sense of texture and muscularity lacking in other drawings (and even photos). Yet real ones are beguilingly silky and beautiful of shape.
I saw a scruffy, minor waterspout off the Scottish East Coast when I was a kid and that was enough to get me hooked - and, boy, would I loooove to see a cluster. Item one for the bucket list I've never made?
Love your channel, you've given me more nightmare fuel. Just an FYI, because I'm an audio nerd, something in your settings is clipping your audio.
One of or maybe even the deadliest Tornado in Germany was actually a waterspout. On 9th September 1913, an Airship crashed during a Tornado near the Island of Helgoland (Heligoland) killing 14 soldiers. Later, a Storm Event, maybe a Watersput, sunk a ship on Lake Constance on 3rd May 1931 killing 10. A Tornado on Lake Zeuthen (presumably a Tornado which moved from Land onto water) caused a Shipwreck on 21st July 1901 killing 7.
i personally saw the waterspout at 1:40 i was obsessed with storm chasers and anytime it would rain i would ask my mom if there was gonna be a tornado, she always said no, but we were out to eat when we saw that one, i of course asked because it did rain. she said no and moments later i saw that funnel forming in thr sky. it was fun
Well now I know that one of my core childhood memories about Lovecraftian encounters in the northern Sea of Japan was in fact very real
At 7:12 that waterspout is from the 2011 Springfield Massachusetts tornado

i saw a waterspout near pensacola florida in the late 2000s. as a kid who grew up in the midwest i knew how dangerous tornadoes were and how much damage they could do and i was terrified because i thought it was a tornado. it was MASSIVE, i still remember craning my neck up all the way to the heavens to see the very top of it.
