South Florida nature... acting crazy... in Hollywood Beach.

A lonely waterspout came ashore as a tornado on Hollywood Beach at 12:43 pm Friday afternoon, just two miles from where your faithful correspondent was busy writing on his laptop. 

Local10 News was doing their noontime news broadcast when it first became evident on radar so dispatched their Sky10 helicopter over to the beach to capture what was is -usually- a very quick, hit-or-miss event 

It wasn't the Hindenburg Disaster, and there were no physical injuries, just LOTS of... VERY freaked out people.
I didn't find out about this until 4:30 pm, so I can't report on this with anything resembling my usual eyewitness reportage.

The slow windup set-up... as it makes its way from off-shore towards the beach and the Broadwalk.
