[Wrote this entry before I watched the news regarding this phenomenon. Its actually a water spout without the 'r' so ya, Bernice was correct... heheh, so most of them is non tornadic in nature, meaning they are quite harmless.. This time round, I managed to find some info from Wikipedia]
Had quite an adventure at ECP today. Went for rollerblading and came across this phenomenon. Think its called a water sprout, according to Bernice but I cannot find in Wikipedia leh... You sure its called a water sprout or not???
I remembered seeing something similiar during my BMT days in Tekong Camp but it was far out at sea, this one is really up close de, can even see the base. Its as if the sky is sucking up water from the sea and as we watched in awe, it came nearer and nearer to shore...
And then suddenly, there was this strongest gust of wind and an extremely heavy downpour. And due to the velocity of the wind, we were actually stung by the sand particles swept from the beach. For a moment, I can actually relate to the tsunami victims (may they rest in peace).
We were all busy taking pix and videos and only ran for cover when it hit us. Evan said the rain tasted salty... hahah of cuz lah, wat goes up (the sea water) must come down mah...
Here's the pix and a short video clip taken with my lau ya nokia phone, the loud horn heard in the clip was from the ships out at sea...
