A waterspout briefly hugged the coast in South Florida Wednesday afternoon, stunning people in the densely populated area who could see it for miles.
It happened in Golden Beach near Aventura around 1 p.m., according to meteorologist John Morales, who retweeted a viewer’s video of the spout.
It showed the churning vortex just offshore, zipping across the coastline.
Other videos showed it from different angles, taken from other parts of the community, including one near the waterfront that showed the water’s surface churning.
It fizzled out after around 10 minutes, according to the National Weather Service, which also warned boaters to head to safe harbor immediately after confirming the waterspout.
No injuries were reported, according to WTVJ.
Miami-based WSVN reported that the damage included downed trees, tossed lawn furniture and scattered belongings launched into the sea.
It was part of a storm system that had been hovering over parts of the state all morning, the Miami Herald reported, and forecasters warned that additional scattered storms would be possible throughout the evening. See the video. Read more from Fox News.
