“Waterspouts form from a dark rotating cloud called a Supercell but can also form from a Thunderstorm. A waterspout has similar features to a Tornado like having a funnel and damaging wind that can be felt 1-2 km away. The difference is that a waterspout forms over water and usually dissipates when it gets close to land,” said Storm Report SA in an interview with Northglen News.
