Terrifying Waterspout Forms Under Darkened Sky in Italy
Terrifying Waterspout Forms Under Darkened Sky in Italy Sending Huge Sea Column into Air
The "water tornado" appeared in Salerno, Italy, skirting ports and reportedly damaging containers as it finally crossed the shoreline
Daily Mirror UK, 1 JUN 2020
A huge waterspout was spotted off the coast of Italy.
It was seen from the port city of Salerno and many locals recorded the action, and took photos of the phenomenon.
The "water tornado" appeared skirting ports and reportedly damaging containers as it finally crossed the shoreline.
Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes, but form when cool unstable air passes over warmer waters, producing vigorous updraughts that can turn into a spinning column of water.
They generally collapse once they move across solid ground.

The Salerno Today said that the spout damaged some containers near the waterfront, but no injuries had been reported.
Back in 2016 a boat full of people was swept up in a powerful waterspout.

Mobile phone footage saw dozens of boats on a lake in Beijing’s Beihai Park in China as families celebrated a festival over the long weekend.
But seconds later the serene scene was met with chaos as the tornado hit the water and sent the tourist boat toppling over
