Freak spout

We have our own water twister.

Featured on the evening news today was the spectacular formation of a water sprout, mini twister style. It was caught on camera while the news crew was making their way around the La Perouse area. The little menace tore the roof off a Sydney apartment and also happily severed power lines as it ran down the street.

If I can get hold of the video, I'll post it. Meanwhile, you'll have to make do with this. I should also remind myself that I live very near the beach. As a matter of fact, too close for comfort.
