Jacksonville Waterspout Video, Photos

UPDATE: A video has emerged showing this tornado from underneath!

UPDATE: Our own Frank Strait helped an AccuWeather radio station through this storm, check out his account.

AccuWeather.com Photo Gallery photographer hurricanegirl got some great shots of a waterspout moving down a river south of Jacksonville, Florida yesterday. You can see all her photos and videos of the waterspout on the Gallery; I have zoomed in a couple below, note the detail where you can see both the outer and inner funnel circulation:

One of our affiliates also provided this video, probably by one of hurricanegirl's neighbors:

The NWS spotter report said:

Although you don't need a big storm to form a waterspout and it's not unusual to see little to no storm on the radar when a waterspout is reported, this one was created by a large thunderstorm complex which formed to the south and moved up I-95. The photo was taken at the location indicated by the "X" on the map above, and by the green arrow on the map below.

Additional radar movies are shown below; you can download the full-size movies here.
