Waterspout at Hecksher!

I never get to see the cool stuff.

Just this last Sunday we had a warning that waterspouts might materialize whilst the east end crew were tearing it up at The Bowl.  Didn't see any, though.   Now we learn that yesterday at Hecksher a waterspout came through about one third of the way across the bay ("Awesome but it killed the wind!"  said John Sasson in the Yahoo LI Windsurfing Group.)    Mike Burns says "it was so sweet because we actually saw it form.  The water just started lifting in a spiral and did make it all the way up to the clouds from the front.  The back side of the front looked like the eye wall of a hurricane.  Really cool stuff."
