Hi all,
This waterspout formed very quickly over Mahon and lasted for about an hour, incredibly.
It gained force at times and we could actually see the rotation of the cloud vapour, amazing stuff. At other times the spout weakened and almost broke before gaining momentum, thickening and once again we could see the actual rotation in parts of it.

Needless to say we were very pleased to be safely in the marina, well away from the open water near the headland where no doubt it was rotating at a fair old speed and sucking up water.
We hope there weren't any boats near its base.
It's a pity this blog site doesn't have the facility for video as it would be far more interesting to watch, even so here are the pictures below.
