A large waterspout was recorded and uploaded on Facebook accounts in two separate videos near the island of Santorini. In the second video, the man on board a ship can be heard saying “So cool”.
The water inside a waterspout is formed by condensation in the cloud. There are two major types of waterspouts: tornadic waterspouts and fair-weather waterspouts. Tornadic waterspouts get their start as true tornadoes. Influenced by winds associated with severe thunderstorms, air rises and rotates on a vertical axis.
