TORONTO – A man came very close to a waterspout while vacationing in Rhodes, Greece on Oct. 2.
The beautiful waterspout was captured on video by Carl Phillips. At one point the waterspout comes very close to shore.
“Oh my god,” a woman is heard saying in the video. “I’ve never seen anything like it!”
There are two types of waterspouts: fair-weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
