Man that is awesome!

I hope you weren't too close.

Nice shots! The first is more dramatic.

Thanks. I was pretty close to it for comfort.

Thanks. I like the first one the most too.

I have seen 2 of those in my lifetime, and they can be pretty scary. Nice shots, by the way...

Spectacular shots. I have never seen one of these, but living on the prairies, I probably never will - tornados, yes, waterspouts, no. I like the first one best of all.

I would have been so tempted to try and throw something like a football into that thing... awesome documentation of the waterspout.

I like the first one the best. It seems the most dramatic to me. Of course... driving your boat into the middle like an aquatic storm chaser would have been even more dramatic... Thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone. Luckily I was on land when I took these. Still was good to get a couple good shots of it.
