@reply notifications off I just heard the meteorologist for the news station say that it is technically a tornado when it comes onshore. I would not call it one otherwise either, no. Lol
@@michelley9203 A small boat, yeah. A large vessel like a cargo or cruise ship? Not at all. Their winds are weak, compared to other spinners like tornadoes.
That person zigged when they should of zagged. Hope they are okay. And big thanks to the person on the bike. By stopping this, they may have saved hundreds of lives.
This is a great example of herd mentality, as also displayed in the 2004 tsunami. This is how it works: Humans spot an approaching threat. They spring to action by checking the response of the guys next to them. If said guys aren't doing anything (not realizing that said guys are mirroring them), they do nothing. All continue in their non-action until the threat is approximately 500' away, then all begin to panic and run. In the case of the tsumani, it cost many their lives. I take these as a cautionary tale: Ditch the pride and run! And if it winds up being nothing and you look like a fool, oh well. Beats proud and dead.
"it looks like it's moving brandon..." "We don't know if that's a shift in persoective--maybe our eyes are deceiving us, --but is it moving at all?". Got all quiet when it got to the beach, haha. I'm glad no one got hurt, from what it looks like and we can all smile.
Great catch and footage!!🎥 I have seen these far away from the beach, a few miles out, but this takes a whole new dimension and awareness to stay far away from waterspouts.🌪
I've heard talk of them,never saw one,even from far away. I've seen a ufo,..but a Californian knocked over by a tornado? It really was a great catch. I hardly believed such a thing existed - though common here in Oklahoma. Oh,don't play with the big ones. They have no sense of play.
That's so cool, a long-lived one too. My best friend was 2 miles from there in Ft. Lauderdale. I grew up in the Texas panhandle. In my 20s, I was in Galveston with my sister, she went to the doctor and I was there with her. While she was in with the doctor, I was watching out of the 4th floor windows toward Galveston Bay. I saw this thing, looked like a white tornado over the water. I had never seen anything like it and I didn't think it was anything bad. A woman saw me looking and looked too. She screamed "water spout!" and rushed off to tell the nurses. I was asking "what's a water spout?" It's a tornado, I found out. I was really afraid of the tornadoes from the Panhandle, this didn't look like one. But I went into the hall with everyone else because it did make landfall but dissipated before it hit the hospital.
The strength of this storm won't be officially known until the National Weather Service can survey the damage, but with a tourist inconvenienced and chairs toppled we're easily looking at an EF-0.0000028 tornado
The funnel deliberately traversed a specific path across the water , smacked a targeted woman down in the sand, then immediately dissipated. Divine retribution for littering?
Brandon is pretentious. He discounted the lady’s observations. She was right, he was wrong. And it’s “boardwalk”, not “broadwalk”. Brandon is arrogant.
End of day pink slip for the meteorologist. “They don’t last long” (13 minutes later…); “It’s a bit offshore, the people on the beach are fine.” Glad no one was hurt.
To be clear, a waterspout is still a tornado and can go wherever the heck it wants to, as long as conditions are favorable. There's a video out there where a tornado went in and out of the sea for a straight hour, just kept growing bigger as it went up the coastline.
that poor lady is probably still picking sand out of her teeth 😆 interesting that you can still see the condensation funnel carry on down the street for a few seconds after crossing the boardwalk - im curious to know if the waterspout reformed once it reached the other side of those few blocks. it looked strong enough to
Did the waterspout knock over the beachgoer, or did the beachgoer deliberately drop to the ground and crouch down to be protected from blowing sand/debris?
Guy on the bicycle has his ear buds in listening to Neil Young "You are like a hurricane there's calm in your eyes and I'm getting blown away"....Nope.
No doubt. If that was a supercell, no doubt that could have turned into a damaging tornado with potential serious injuries or deaths. Fortunately most waterspouts are the weak variety and usually dissipate before moving on shore or if they do become a brief tornado.
Week after moving to Pompano Beach, Florida, I went to work and found many colleagues standing in the parking lot staring in the direction of the ocean. "What are we looking at?" They pointed at the two waterspouts twisting down from the sky. Yes, I was a little freaked out, even though I came from the midwest where tornados are common...
Margaritaville I've been there man I tried all of their margaritas out there man all those bars are fantastic it's like Sandals Resort great drink good food good people thank God nobody was hurt good job by channel 10 news hey big shout-out from Torrance California Los Angeles
I remember seeing a string of waterspouts of the coast of Waikiki back in the 1960’s…believe me, the surfers were paddling in as quick at they could. The winds after the waterspouts roped out before touching the beach brought in some salt water coming down with the rains.
That waterspout swirled inland like a person walking fast towards the shore 😂. The people that got tossed are just stupid for not moving out of the way. Maybe they were hypnotized 😵🤯
