A storm!

After blading at ECP in the morning yesterday, Karen and I changed out of the blades into slippers and walked over to Subway for lunch. As we finished lunch, we walked back out to the beach front towards the carpark, when we saw a water sprout off the coast!


I hurriedly whipped out my phone camera and stood there filming the movement of the sprout, enduring the lashing wind and rain as it approaches. People were running away in droves when it neared the beach a distance away, and there was a white screen at the beach when the sprout died.

Then a second one appeared! It formed much nearer to the beach then the first one, and approached menacingly. Eventually it reached the front of a breakwater, and went up even further, whipping up sand within itself. The whole force crashed through the trees and I saw a branch dropped, before the force dissipates and it died. By that time, I was quite battered by the raindrops and we quickly ran back to the car.

Awesome!
