A Waterspout off the Florida Keys
This photo captures a waterspout off the Florida Keys, a type of tornado that forms over water. Waterspouts are spinning columns of moist air, rising from warm water, and can reach wind speeds over 200 kilometers per hour. They are as dangerous as land tornadoes and can form even in relatively fair weather, sometimes appearing transparent at first.
