WATERSPOUT- almost like a tornado on the sea or body of water, except it sucks up the water instead of objects off the ground. If the waterspout moves toward land there could be a salt water rain storm. The wind speed in an waterspout gets up to 80 miles an hour. They can cause damage to ships and boats. they are common in the South China Sea and off the coasts of the United States and Japan. They can be seen in pairs. Most waterspouts occur in tropical areas.
TORNADO HUNTERS- a tornado hunter is someone who is following a tornado around simply because they would like to see one or they are a scientist and are collecting information on tornadoes.
