Waterspout in Tampa Bay

I didn't take the pics. Pretty awesome, but I wouldn't want to be there. I know they look fake, but they aren't.

I have been that close to tornadoes (and that's all a waterspout is, is a tornado sucking up water), and I would NOT want to be that close ever again! :paranoid

If you haven't done it already, I'm sure the Weather Channel would love to have those.
Scary & beautiful at the same time.
