Tornado Carolina Beach (Locust: house, live, moving)

[TuborgP]

Just experienced my first significant waterspout coming on shore in Carolina Beach. Was told about it being a frequent event just last week. Was very interesting experience. Hopefully there is minimal damage and no injuries. Wonder how many other posters here experienced it?

Ooh, did you see it in person? So wild. I saw one once in FL.

Here's a great video:

we owned a house on pleasure island for ten years,[did not live there fulltime though]
never saw or heard of one.

while they might be considered common in the month of august I would never say it is a frequent phenom.
now hurricanes, thats another story.

Followed by an earth quake and now a hurricane. Just saw on the news Locust were moving up from South America. Just kidding.

No I missed the spout/tornado. Went on the beach shortly after it ended and talked with life guards and other folks who were there. Saw some good pictures they took.
