Sat in a bar on holidays in Albir in Spain on Tuesday and just caught a cool tornado coming across the ocean. First one I've ever seen even if not quite an F5.

Beat me to one! ;)

Over here we would call that a waterspout if it was over the ocean (a landspout if it was over the land), essentially a tornado not associated with a supercell thunderstorm.

Nice catch! :)

That looks like a small funnel cloud. We get funnel clouds out here every once in a while... ;)

I don't know why but funnels at sea seems scarier than on land.  :o

You'll sometimes see waterspouts in the Wash estuary near where I live. Yup, waterspouts in the East Midlands.
