Tough down...
No fear... just a waterspout.
In some parts of the world, waterspouts are a common sight. These twisting funnels of water are technically known as "convective vortices" and are similar to dust devils, which form over land. Most of the time, waterspouts occur on bodies of water with high surface temperatures, usually in tropical regions, larger forms include both tornadoes and hurricanes. The big spouts may generate vortexes of 100 mph or higher (160+ km/h). In the ocean around the Florida Keys, as many as 500 waterspouts form every summer, some of them of the larger variety.
This waterspout got very close to the Coffee Plantation, so close that all of our Coffee shop customers ran outside to see this incredible sight of nature.
How cool is that....
