Twister on the Sea, on Gaeta's Gulf -Italy. Tornada pe Mare

[sunsetreptiles]

there both tornados, but made two different ways

[sunsetreptiles]

A waterspout is most frequent in tropical regions. It is a tornado that occurs on the surface of the water, occurring at sea or over inland water. Waterspouts form at the base of cumulus-type clouds and extend to the surface of the water where it picks up ocean spray.

Waterspouts are very similar in intensity to tornadoes thee you go

@sunsetreptiles This tornado is A TRUE tornado (tornadic waterspout), not just a regular waterspout.

[sunsetreptiles]

i think you need to do some reading up. waterspouts are made over water and tornados are made over land. I have chase with tornado chasers and thats what they said. I have also took classes on weather and stuff. If i were you, i would learn more about this before you speak.

Its called a Water Spout

[sunsetreptiles]

ok whats the difference then smart one

[gloomyoutlook]

@sunsetreptiles

There's a difference between fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts. read up. A tornado over water is still a tornado, a waterspout over land is a landspout. This is a tornado.

[sunsetreptiles]

if it was made over water its not a twister. twisters happen over land, if you a chaser you should know this.

[naderchaser]

sunsetreptiles: with all respect...you couldn't be more incorrect.

[sunsetreptiles]

this is not a twister or a tornado, they only happen on dry land.

[naderchaser]

I'm a very experienced midwestern USA tornado chaser, and I can guarantee that this is indeed a tornado over water...known as a waterspout. This one shown is indeed formed from the same inner-storm mechanism that gives birth to the big USA tornadoes, which is called a meso-cyclone. And from what I have read, Italy is no stranger to tornadoes and waterspouts. Hope this sets you straight, please reply if you have any questions, I'll try to help! joel

@sunsetreptiles

if it rains then the land is wet... ;) and since tornado's form under storms they most like form over wet land ;) hehe

[aurikos]

[enchanted910]

Wow, I wonder when this happened?

[aurikos]

Hi aurikos,

I lived in Gaeta in 1983 to 1985, and of course it has been quite a while since then, but now that I think of it- I know the tornado would be rare, because I don't even remember any storms! There was one mild earthquake while I was there. Gosh if that thing had landed - it really would have messed up Gaeta. I love that little town and miss it.
