We saw a Tornado out at sea last Thursday when we were at Agios Gordios, did anyone else see it? Never seen one before and didn't really know what could happen. Everyone was standing and watching and taking photos etc

Hi androo,
Is a tornado at sea a waterspout, or are they two totally different phenomenons?

Water spouts a lot smaller, less powerful...I believe

So that is what a waterspout is! Whatever it was it was big and coming our way!

Hi,
I wasn't sure so I checked with the Cambridge online dictionary and it says that a waterspout is "a tornado (violently spinning column of air) filled with water which forms over the sea."

Hi Bill,
Thanks for that. Wrong again. Durrr!!! . It really clarifies what they are, much better than the dictionary.

We were sat at Gravia Bar above Arillas/San Stefanos at around 2pm last Wednesday 27th Ocotber and saw it, I managed to get some photos but they are a bit distant. Was rather amazing.
