    Cool vid!

    Pity he/she put it up on the tube first.. I'd be ringing RTE and asking them how much will they pay for Ireland's first recorded twister vid!

    Amazing! I didn't see the tornado but was woken by the sound of constant distant thunder which was ongoing for ages which I thought was strange but not surprising seen as this system I was hearing produced a tornado!!!

    FYI: Oh showing the vid to a friend in the US (who sees loads of em) that's called a Water Spout and they usually fizzle out once they hit land.

    Definitely a water spout. And a pretty piddling one at that !

    RTE News has a short piece on it. Met spokesperson says "conditions were right for it".

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    She did go on to explain the conditions which added body to the "quote"

    they called it a "water tornado" on the 6 news.

    These things are commonplace in Ireland just not many people record them on video. They usually form over the sea due to the marked temperature differences between sea and land and by the time they hit the coast they are more out than "spout"

    I'be seen a few spouts over the years, but still think that the most impressive are the dust devils seen on dollymount.
