Waterspout strikes Clearwater Beach in Florida; 2 elderly injured
A calm but gloomy day on Clearwater Beach in Florida was interrupted by a moment of chaos when a small waterspout came ashore and wreaked havoc as it sent shade cabanas soaring through the air on a Friday afternoon.
A video that has gone viral on social media showed people screaming and running as the waterspout advanced from the Gulf of Mexico towards the beach, causing sand to swirl and dance. Waterspouts, similar to tornadoes, originate over bodies of water.
Two beach-goers from Kansas, a 70-year-old woman and a 63-year-old man, were hit by flying debris and were treated by lifeguards before being taken to Morton Plant Hospital with minor injuries.
