Literally! Today we had a cold front come through with the skies darkening and thunder in the distance. I was standing on our porch as the wind shifted to the west, telling our marina manager that this is the place to be in a cold front, with the wind behind us. I was proved wrong this time when two seconds later he looked up into the sky and said there's a waterspout forming over our heads! I don't think the second floor is the best place to be in a tornado! Sure enough, the clouds were spinning and the spout was trying to come down. An announcement went out on the VHF so everyone could take cover, but I on the other hand, ran inside for my camera (see how devoted I am to keeping you all posted? 😉).
It swirled over our heads for several minutes but luckily it didn't come down any lower. All the workers came out with eyes to the sky and several other clouds tried to spin, but no spouts thankfully materialized.
The front line that formed was scary.
When the rains finally came there was a white squall. Once again, the porch is THE place to be in this wind and Dave is out there not getting wet at all...until he has to go bail out Dandy of course.
