Nature
May: A waterspout over Bateman's Bay, as seen from Maloney's Beach, New South Wales. Waterspouts occur on the coast when cool, humid air is warmed as it passes over warm waters, and rises. In the right conditions, such as during stormy weather, the vigorously rising air can converge and tighten into a jaw-dropping spinning column. Shorty, from Canberra, said: Everyone else had a view of it on the water, but from where I was, it looks like it's on land and coming in. While waterspouts are not generally as violent as tornadoes and usually break down soon after crossing the coast, they can be a serious threat to boaters.
