Miami Beach Waterspout / Tornado - August 12, 2003

From 2003, I got ready to leave for work and went to grab my laptop bag when I looked out and saw this thing... I woke everyone up in the house and then did what any rational person would do, I ran for the camera. Milton, Mary K, and Matthew help me with the play-by-play. As you hear, we had no warning of this. NOTE: Video taken from Parkview Point Condominium (AKA PP Building)

Was that the morning that there were two tornados that touched down in the water around Surfside and Bal Harbour?

[Frank Rey]

I believe that was the day!  This was minutes before those occurred... :)

Can they form in Tampa?

[Frank Rey]

I thought they were fairly common (relatively speaking) in Tampa Bay... :)

@Stringprodigy

True, they generally are not considered tornadoes unless they hit land but technically they are tornadic. Particularly those spawned by supercells.

Waterspouts can sounds?

[Ainurah]

Waterspouts are often very beautiful. Notice how they tend to "hover" there all 'peacefully,' unlike tornadoes that rampage over the land. XD
