Never seen anything like this before
Sharmila and I were taking stroll in the beach when we saw something in the horizon. At the bottom of the dark clouds that had started looming in the horizon, suddenly a funnel like structure started forming and came down to touch the water. We could see visibly- although it was very very far – the mist of water in an otherwise straight edge of the water in the horizon.
We saw one, then another and then a third one. A few minutes later, they slowly disappeared, starting to recede from the ground level till they vanished in the dark clouds.
I guess that will go down as our first sighting of tornadoes in our life!!!
Unfortunately, I did not have my DSLR camera with me – so had to make do with my iPhone…
Lucky ,you are ! Once in a lifetime experience ,unless you are chasing tornados!
Looks like a Waterspout. I saw several on Lake Ponchartrain last week. They are usually weaker than tornados.
Cool! Learnt something…

Happened to us in playa del carmen once. Scared crap out of us but ours was much closer!
So scary looking

The best camera is the one you have in your hands! You got a great shot with that phone
Reminds me of the film ‘ Twister ‘ .

My God!! Cud have been dangerous!
Water spouts. I’ve seen a few in Galveston. I personally don’t count them as having seen a tornado.
Just goes to prove how much i know about tornadoes…
water spouts
That’s a water spout.
I think water spouts are very common, but people seldom see them unless they are away from land
Amazing. We saw similar dust funnel clouds in Serengiti this time ( mistook them as fire/ smoke from a distance). They only develop in afternoon once the air heats up.
Reminds me of the film TWISTER
Brilliant Capture….
OMG!
Funnel cloud?
