Baxley resident Jimmy Johnson captured this amazing photo of two waterspouts Wednesday, Sept. 2, on Jekyll Island around noon. Johnson stated that he was at a jobsite on the northern end of the island when a heavy equipment operator jumped off his equipment and ran by him shouting “water pipe”.
Johnson said he thought the operator was saying that he had run over a water line, but when he started looking toward the ground the operator said, “No. Water spout!” and passed by headed for the beach. The twin spouts lasted 15 minutes or so, churning water up into the air.
