Storms that developed in Tampa Friday evening spawned more than just rain. A brief waterspout was spotted.

It was close to 6:30 in Tampa Bay near MacDill Air Force Base that a funnel cloud formed. Photos below show the twister.

• It's tough to look at a tornado, twister, waterspout-whatever you'd like to call it, and not be mesmerized!
