May 29, 2007: Singapore waterspout
 It started out like a finger out of the sky - this waterspout that occurred just off the coast of Singapore the other day.  It's like a mini-tornado where a storm just reaches right down and sucks moisture out of the sea.  Just a minor phenomenon, I guess, but everybody took notice;  Which meant that, in this new era, the best place to go for images of it was flickr.

Great photos. Interesting how the water nearby looks relatively undisturbed in that last close-up. Glad I'm not in one of those boats, though!

What's cool is that when one of these water spouts sucks up fish and stuff out of the water, it will be raining fish somewhere else a little later on, and everyone will be like WTF? Fish?!

I heard you won't be able to call them waterspouts much longer, because Oreck bought the naming rights.

I wonder if the water that comes out of those clouds after will be salty.
