A COUPLE OF REPORTS OF A WATERSPOUT
ASSOCIATED WITH A THUNDERSTORM JUST SOUTH OF
BIG PINE KEY HAVE BEEN MADE BY BOTH A GROUP
OF STORM CHASERS AS WELL AS A MEMBER OF THE
PUBLIC. THE STORM CHASERS REPORTED THE
CONDENSATION FUNNEL EXTENDING DOWN FROM THE
CLOUD BASE, BUT THERE WAS NO SPRAY RING
VISIBLE. THE WATERSPOUT OCCURRED AROUND 3:10
PM EDT. AND ONLY LASTED AROUND 5 MINUTES.
THE PHOTO SUBMITTED BY THE MEMBER OF THE
PUBLIC SHOWED TWO CONDENSATION FUNNELS; ONE
THIN AND ONE A LITTLE THICKER, TILTED AT A
45 DEGREE ANGLE. TREES AND HOMES BLOCKED THE
VIEW OF THE SURFACE, SO NO SPRAY RING WAS
VISIBLE.
