That's awesome to see. I once saw three at once but they were kind of far away. I have two questions for a waterspout meteorologist: -does it suck up salt water (fish) into the rain cloud? -does it ground the cloud and reduce lightening?

Also - kind of a dangerous time on be in a helicopter when you're surrounded by waterspouts is it not?


You can be miles away when at sea when because you don't have terrain blocking your field of view. They also don't last that long, like 30 mins or so on the long side.

Oil doesn't evaporate into rainclouds so it can't be "raining" oil unless there was a waterspout (unlikely).


What about if the oil is emulsified with water using dispersants? Don't the dispersants effectively break the surface tension of the oil? What effect does that have on evaporation temperatures?
