In a tweet, the Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida, offices of the National Weather Service said that storms in the area were causing a large waterspout off the coast. The agency also told boaters to be careful. The tweet also said that the storm near Miramar Beach seemed to be moving along the coast.

In a series of tweets, the National Weather Service called the waterspout "pretty impressive" and explained how it can happen.

The National Weather Service says they are like tornadoes over water and can be divided into fair weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.



The Weather Service says that fair-weather ones are usually less dangerous, and they can happen often off the coast of South Florida from late spring to early fall.
