BEIJING, August 20 (Xinhuanet) – The U.S. National Weather Service says nine waterspouts have formed over Lake Michigan from two storms.
A photographer captured five simultaneous waterspouts on Saturday. At least three of the tornado-like waterspouts were reported to the National Weather Service before noon on Saturday. Meteorologists said conditions were right for this type of vortex, a combination of cold and warm temperatures converging over the area, along with a line of storms.
Though waterspouts are relatively rare, Lake Michigan also saw some a few weeks ago. The National Weather Service said a cold front hitting the lake on Sunday could lead to even greater chances of waterspouts.
