I am sorry I was not able to post this video earlier this week when it happened, but I was down for the count with the stomach bug.

Check out this YouTube video of a water spout near Bateman’s Bay, Australia.

Here is another angle from CBS.

That is one stout water spout, or a tornado over water.  In the storm chasing community, this water spout would have the shape of a “stove pipe” due to it’s tall shape and laminar edges.
