Extraordinary close-up video of double water spouts look like something from Hollywood disaster movie
A pair of huge waterspouts that formed over Tampa, Florida were caught on camera by on-lookers in extraordinary close-up footage. Passengers on a boat on the Manatee River captured the apocalyptic-like moment on Sunday (22 June), as cries of 'oh my god', and 'oh s***' can be heard in the background. Waterspouts, essentially tornadoes over water, can form when gusts of dense air from a thunderstorm crash into a sea breeze. The weather phenomenon is common during Florida's warmer months; however, the double sighting has been called 'pretty rare' by Stephen Shiveley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
