| Haha...nevermind...it IS to the right of the big one. IMMEDIATELY to the right of it. The thing way to the right is the tower. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: It's been about 15 years ago but we had a waterspout chase us from the Fourchon jetties. On the way back to the launch we came much closer to a second, larger waterspout in the middle of the bayou almost at the port. We were still watching the first one and didn't see the second until we were damn close. We pulled in at Charlie Hardesons and watched the second spout come onto shore and start flipping boats and do a lot of damage in general. It had very successfully turned into a tornado and headed on over towards Grand Isle. For a while it looked like it was coming more or less right at us but it went to the north by a few hundred yards. Literally an awesome thing to see. Reply • Back to Top |
| If you fish near the coast enough you will see plenty. Basically a tornado over the water and luckily i have never been caught in one and was always able to out run them. Reply • Back to Top |
| I've seen a bunch of them. Too many to count. I've actually seen a single squall cell with 3 spouts coming out of it. We try to keep our distance from them, but we've had them come within a couple of miles. It's usually a pretty cool sight. I was actually diving in Panama City, Fl a few years ago and was talking to the captain between dives when I noticed one over his shoulder. It was a beautiful day. Most on the boat had never seen one, so that was cool. I also came face-to-face (within 2 feet) of a goliath grouper/jewfish that day. The lips on that thing were like dock lines for a big crew boat.

| Saw one last teal season in Delacroix. It was 4 of us 2 in each blind and about 30 minutes into the hunt the other blind radios me with... What's a water spout?? Turn around and sure enough there it was so we picked up and ran untill it died down I have a video of it if I can figure how to get it on here I will put it up. Reply • Back to Top |
