However, the recent AccuWeather report said that a man near a beachfront on the coast of Panama City in Florida captured a rare sight of two waterspouts spinning.

According to AccuWeather, Charlie Landa managed to film the amazing sight of mother nature producing dual waterspouts.

NOAA said that the waterspout that Landa filmed referred to a combination of water mist and air.

Furthermore, NOAA explained that the waterspout could move onshore, and the weather agency could urgently advise residents or nearby communities of tornado warnings.

The report said there are two waterspout categories, tornadic waterspouts and fair weather waterspouts. NOAA explained that tornadic waterspouts could refer to tornadoes forming over the ocean or water, which will later move to water or land. On the other hand, fair weather waterspouts could form on the developing cumulus clouds and thunderstorms.

AccuWeather added that the person who took the image found the image scary. In addition, NOAA emphasized that residents or anyone who finds waterspouts should move away from them.

The report said how Landa's witty comments managed to narrate the situation, saying it was a selfie time showing the waterspouts between his fingers.
