Double waterspouts spotted over Lake Michigan

Two giant waterspouts that formed over Lake Michigan, near Kenosha, Wisc., were caught on video merging into one. Norah O'Donnell reports.

WOW! If I saw duel waterspouts I would lose my mind. That is just incredible!

I think I just experienced two waterspouts hugging then parting ways.

"They merged into one then split again."
One spout crossed BEHIND the other one. And the idiots they think they merged and split... Stupidity has no boundaries...

[Tigers]

Merged and split again? They literally only crossed paths. How is nobody not seeing that?

[DankAstrophotography]

These are tornadic waterspouts, which are literally just tornadoes.

Gotta love that Sim's 3 soundtrack.

The waterspouts didn’t merge. One went behind the other one as they rotated around one another. These are not as water called tornadic waterspouts formed by a supercell thunderstorm

[MrAlito]

The video is to short we wanna see when they separate again!

Just shows you how powerful music can be

Unsolved mysteries on Netflix…there is an episode about UFO sighting where the “lights” merge and come apart like this. I suspect wind or tornado might have carried something reflective or lit, or lightning even. So many saw it but the Radar guy saw it over the LAKE. Finally one couple on the beach saw the lights but also an enormous “waterfall” in the lake. I realize water spout is likely the answer, but do they ever form on Lake Michigan or merge etc? here it is.

I don't think they merged. Rather, they were spinning around each other.

Is this what causes fish to "fall out of the sky"??

[strategicfishing]

My entire life, never seen a waterspout. I should get out more.

[conrails]

Quite possibly the greatest water spout video ever.

The reporter: tornados sirens went of…the guy standing there: .

[thelonelygamerandrew]

that is rare for lake michigan to have double waterspouts

[Moe_Posting_Chad]

No way. There's a whole island of gold in the sky... That kid really did it... All be! The one piece is real...

[Cdubz]

Those are tornadoes over water, not the usual waterspout
