Waterspout,1896

Waterspout on Vineyard Sound, Cottage City, Massachusetts, August 19, 1896. A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water. Some are connected to a cumulus congestus cloud, some to a cumuliform cloud and some to a cumulonimbus cloud. In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water. Most waterspouts do not suck up water; they are small and weak rotating columns of air over water. U.S. Naval Institute (cropped and cleaned).
