Re: Waterspout

An uncommon weather event* unfolded off Youghall Beach, on Chaleur Bay, near Bathurst, New Brunswick.

* Torandic Waterspout or Gustnado?

A tornadic waterspout is "essentially a tornado that forms over the water or moves from land to the water," CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon said.
Tornadic waterspouts have the "same characteristics as a land tornado" and are associated with severe thunderstorms.
"A waterspout is a spinning column of air that extends down from the clouds and touches the water surface, forming that waterspout", he (Snoddon) said.

A gustnado is a combination of a "gust front and a tornado but it is not a tornado," he said.
Snoddon said, unlike a tornado, a gustnado is not actually connected to the base of the cloud.
"It's essentially a column of rotating air; a mesocyclonic rotation that's kind of spinning ahead of the actual thunderstorm."
