Saturday afternoon, with the storms that had been popping up all over the Tampa Bay area, we had the chance to see a waterspout off the coast of Clearwater Beach.

The waterspout, which is a tornado that is over the water, was seen from all over Clearwater, and it stayed offshore. The videos show the waterspout a good distance from the beaches, and the photo below shows the bottom of the funnel interacting with the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.
