Note that in order to listen to the audio and full size a video on X, you have to login now.

About as classic "true" waterspout as you can get.  Thin tall tube, slow moving, no rain, LTG, or wall cloud present, just TCU.

Notice that after the base vortex moves over the dock, it re-emerges more intense and focused.  This happens sometimes for spouts when the first come ashore.  The rapid increase in friction can strengthen the base temporarily

That video isn’t from this year. I think it was actually on the Corrotoman River on July 4th, 2022.
