Description
This amazing water spout is framed from the flare boom of the platform I was on while in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana, USA. The weather conditions must be ideal for a water spout to form. The cloud rain shield was very thick and the water spout was being consumed by the rain shield. Most platforms have 24 hour weather monitors to keep tabs of severe weather. The winds of water spouts can be just as damaging as a tornado on land. The photo was enhanced to reveal the water spout in the rain shield the clouds appear blue because of the ultra violet light reflecting off the water surface. During certain weather conditions in the Gulf of Mexico, water spouts form in the early morning or after noon. In most cases the surface winds on the surface of water or usually calm when these fascinating weather creations form.
