WATER SPOUT

Great picture taken by Warwick Tilley from Opotiki, of a large waterspout that created a bit of a stir with locals on Wednesday morning.

Predicted at being at least 15 metres across and stirring up a lot of water
it did appear to be heading inward. About 500 metres off the beach it veered off and headed east and appeared to peter out somewhere around the Waioeka rivermouth.

All one needs, a water filled tornado.....
