Incredible Volcano and Waterspout Hawaii

The eruption of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano inspires the formation of a waterspout in this undated photo. Waterspouts can emerge the way traditional tornadoes do, but not always. Many are created when near-surface winds suddenly change direction under a cloud that is producing a growing updraft. Unlike a tornado, a waterspout vortex and funnel cloud are created from the ground, or water, up.
