A scientist snapped a lucky shot in Louisiana on Wednesday just
as twin “waterspouts” emerged from the waters of Grand Isle,
which is located in the Gulf coast. While twisters formed over
bodies of water aren’t so rare, it’s extremely rare to see two
form at the same time, especially of this size. Usually,
waterspouts actually form in the water and rise up, rather than
being spun out from the clouds, creating a beautiful and
mesmerizing scene. They’re also not as big as these and almost
never make the jump to land, but these funnels were formed the
old fashioned way and just happened to touch down on the water,
meaning they had enough force to skip over to dry land and wreak
some havoc. Write-up by Amanda Crum Photos by Tim Osborn - Twin
