small channel that connected the two bodies of water. We were on a hill so we could see the water under the funnel. The waterspout made a awesome spiral pattern in the water. It was unforgettable sight.

that wide one looked like it might make landfall. That would've sucked.

They are strangely beautiful but very dangerous. More evidence that things are probably never going to be the same in our lifetimes.

A few years ago there were 3 waterspouts/tornados coming down the river, right towards us. It was early in the evening on a Friday so hardly anyone was here. This was helpful while my few staff and me hurried down 11 flights of stairs. There were a few people killed on the bridges, and we were very grateful that the waterspout stayed in the middle of the river as it passed us by. We were especially concerned while we were in the office because 50% of the walls are glass, including one in my office. Scariest thing I've ever seen.
