Insane waterspout sighted off Florida coast
The National Weather Service issued a special marine warning shortly after the waterspout was sighted, urging boaters and swimmers to stay out of the water.

This waterspout is the fifth reported in Florida's Panhandle area this summer, but data is lacking on these weather phenomena and experts are not sure how often they typically occur.

Another waterspout formed earlier this month in Maryland that was much more destructive than what was observed in Florida.

The funnel swept across Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay on August 5, demolishing several houses and injuring one person.

Images circulating on social media show the disastrous aftermath on Smith Island, with homes completely destroyed and debris sprawled around the ruins of properties.

Two others also in the 51-second clip shout out, 'Where are the kids?' as the waterspout goes up the bank and makes its way further onto land.

The mother-of-two reassures the others that her children were inside.

'Also several shanties were destroyed as well as a boat flipped over,' Daniel Somers told Chesapeake Bay magazine.
