Rare tornado-like waterspout churns near Cuba

Updated

According to the Cienfuegos Provincial Meteorological Centre, the waterspout swirled between 4.50pm to 5pm (2050MGT to 2100 GMT).

No damage was reported from the waterspout.

Waterspouts are tornadoes that occur over a body of water but never reach land. They are characterized by a funnel-shaped cloud.

Despite their ominous appearance, waterspouts are often much weaker than their land counterparts. However, they can pose a danger to any planes or boats that travel through them.
