Waterspout splits in two off Italian coast

By Ben Hooper, UPI

 

 An Italian man filmed an unusual double waterspout off the country's coast -- as well as a yacht that came dangerously close to the whirlwind.

 

Carlo Profumo captured video Monday showing one waterspout splitting into two twin waterspouts off the coast of Arenzano, near Genoa.

A yacht appears to zoom past the whirlwinds, coming dangerously close to getting swept up.
Profumo said the waterspouts "danced in pairs for a few minutes ... then dissolved into the sea."
