Well... I'm not sure if you all noticed... but my posting has been lacking lately. It's been for a great reason though. I'm on vacation in the Florida Keys. Beaches, boats, and leather skin ;)
We saw a great water spout the other day - of course my cell phone picture didn't turn out but this picture I found on the internet is nearly exactly what we saw. Pretty cool eh?
A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water and is connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a nonsupercell tornado over water, and brings the water upward. Also, it is weaker than most of its land counterparts.

This is the time of year, spring, when a lot of people switch to drinking bottled water instead of tap water. They do this because in their particular area the tap water seems to "go bad" ... usually it is a mild smell or a slightly icky taste.
