Comments on: Water spouts http://las.new-england.net.au/2005/11/03/water-spouts/ A pictorial journal of life in rural Australia Mon, 30 Jan 2012 12:52:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: James Taylor http://las.new-england.net.au/2005/11/03/water-spouts/comment-page-1/#comment-6268 James Taylor Fri, 31 Jul 2009 10:50:44 +0000 http://las.new-england.net.au/?p=444#comment-6268 Great picture, however what you were observing was a (Funnel Cloud) Had it touched down to the ground it would have been titled a tornado. Water spouts form over a body of water and start at the surface and work there way upward. When observing a funnel cloud over water, it only becomes a water spout when it comes in contact with the water. Official name would be (Tornadic Water spout)since it formed from the clouds and not the water. Cheers to all, again, great pic!!

I was in a car driving past in a hire car at the time and thinking it was a twister forming up. Got the adrenaline pumping at the time. Felt very special to have seen one with my own eyes. Good shot. Where you in the car parked at the side of the road? Regards MC Hey,

Yes it is a landspout - not a waterspout - the weaker cousins of the tornado family. It develops under cumulus clouds or thunderstorms located along boundaries. They can often develop several at a time as we experienced on our recent storm chasing trip to the US - http://www.australiasevereweather.com/tornado.htm In one afternoon, we saw at least 8 - 10 landspouts a couple of tornadoes.
