Waterspout

The storm system that passed by created a waterspout off Antigua.

My camera was not the greatest, but within the square you can see the waterspout if you look carefully. It looked much more impressive from the beach!

A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a nonsupercell tornado over water, and brings the water upward. Also, it is weaker than most of its land counterparts.
