Australia's Channel Seven captured multiple, powerful waterspouts from a helicopter about 55 miles northeast of Sydney. They claim the spouts reached heights of nearly 2,000 feet, but dissipated as they neared land.
Huge waterspout caught on cam
A spectacular waterspout appears off the east coast of Australia, creating a twisting pillar of water hundreds of metres high.
A waterspout appeared off the central coast of Australia's New South Wales on Monday causing a huge sprouting fountain in the middle of the ocean.
Waterspouts are formed when a high layer of cold air blows across a body of water, either the ocean, a lake or a river and clashes with the warm air below.
Inside the spout, winds can reach speeds of up to 62.1 miles an hour. They have also been known to pick up various sea-life and dump it on land.
A heavy storm across the coast, north of Sydney resulted in three additional waterspouts, according to local residents.
Like land tornadoes, waterspouts often appear in groups.
Four massive waterspouts -- tornadoes formed over water -- were captured on film off Australian's coast on Monday.
According to CBS News, the rare phenomena were spotted off the New South Wales coast as extreme weather hammered down on other parts of the region. The aerial videos seen below were filmed from a helicopter by Australia's Channel 7, which claimed that they reached heights of nearly 2,000 feet.
