Wow that's crazy. It's one of my worst fears being out on the water and being hit by a waterspout.
Not on the kind of boat you're likely on, but a small fishing boat. When I was a kid and my grandparents had one (a 12' Lowe) I would get scared shitless on the rare occasion a fast moving storm would come in and we'd be trying to get off the water before it got bad. I always imagined if a waterspout were to happen, I'd probably have a heart attack, so I wouldn't have to worry about getting sucked up into the sky or drowning.
Cold/dry canadian air and hot/moist gulf of mexico air slugging it out in impressive fashion on hubs map. Very cool.
Cool Tornado pics!
Tornado producing storm hit Norfolk, no tornado hit base but a huge ass waterspout popped up off shore no pic tho

Nothing to be afraid of.
Well I suppose it is, but the second I heard we were in a tornado warning and the storm was crossing the bay I was in my car and at the beachCops had several roads blocked off and were stopping people from parking in beach parking, but not from walking there.

It span so fast but I was able to catch glimpses of a fat man eating barbecue. The sound it made was hubbb hubbb hubbb, and then it darted in the opposite direction. It left this lanky seattleite, who kept arguing about string theory.
