This is a pretty terrifying, yet amazing photo. Waterspout near a convoy in the North Atlantic.

WOW! Those things get huge!

Yeah...that's what is called, in nautical terms, a "bad day".

I remember hearing my grandfather talk of those when he was in the Merchant Marines. I didn't realize they got to be that large though. WOW!!!

Holy crap that's huge!

Going back to St.Augustine from Orlando on A1A near Daytona I saw 2 of those on the water, no way near as big as the pic above but still impressive, weird seeing those on water.

That IS scary!!!!

Scary indeed, that is huge!

I've seen those things in the north Atlantic many times, but none THAT big. The good part about it is they usually
don't last long.

I have seen several along the coast here and never that big.When they hit the shore line good for a couple hundred feet maybe then gonza.

I'm going to say this, quite frankly, you get caught in one of those, you are so screwed.
