Waterspouts spotted over Lake Erie, Cedar Point


mmmmmmm
As waterspouts are being spotted in the waters of Lake Erie, FOX 8 meteorologists are warning that although they are amazing to look at, they are dangerous.

One waterspout was spotted churning above Lake Erie near Cedar Point on Thursday at about 8:30 a.m. by Joe Burkhardt, the National Weather Service reported.

"While they're cool to look at, they are in fact dangerous to watercrafts," FOX 8 meteorologist Alexis Walters said. "People should avoid being on the water during a time when waterspouts become likely."

According to Walters, waterspouts typically occur when cooler air comes over the lake. They also usually last just a few minutes.
