Very cool. A really neat perspective being right below it.

I saw the tornado warning, if this is the one from yesterday that generated that warning, and I looked out that way just in case, but it was just too far to have any chance of seeing it. (In case there were several around I decided to try to look.) There was another waterspout on June 19th that was much closer to me and stuck around for a bit. I didn't know about it until later.

Two in the bay in the span of less than a week, one on either side. It seems rather unusual for sea breeze activity, but maybe it is more common than I realize.

Here is video of the one from June 19th:

A local meteorologist on Facebook has a lot more pictures of it on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/denisphillipswfts

Just took a look on YouTube and I live three quarters of a mile northeast of where this video was taken of the waterspout on June 19th:
