The fascinating phenomena of a waterspout witnessed at Baga beach yesterday at 1830 hrs. Videos taken by Drishti Lifesaver Pooja and
Vinod.
A waterspout is a vertical funnel of high velocity wind and condensed water moving over the sea; there can be two kinds tornadic or fair-weather and they usually last for 5-10 minutes with speeds upto 100kmph. As in the case of Baga, they can move to or from land.
To stay safe, move at a 90 degree angle to its movement and do not go closer to explore.
