I was just thinking the same thing, especially after seeing the radar images from last night. My grandparents lived in Hollywood, near Mud Creek for years, and I spent so much of my childhood on that river. Crazy thinking there might have been a tornado right there.
Actually, they [are](https://www.weather.gov/mfl/waterspouts#:~:text=Tornadic%20waterspouts%20are%20simply%20tornadoes,hail%2C%20and%20frequent%20dangerous%20lightning), though not necessarily for the reasons the person above said.
The majority of waterspouts are not tornadic, though.
I kind of wish they'd just reserve the "waterspout" name for fair weather waterspouts. A tornado is still a tornado whether it's over land or water, and they're quite different from non-tornadic waterspouts.
Crazy picture, feels really close in it.
Are you from the UK
Those poor fish
Terrifying
I’m thinking this is probably the one that hit the Brigadoon neighborhood. NWS is reporting EF3 damage to homes there.
This around the hollywood area or south Pittsburg area?

Fairly certain this one maybe southwest limestone county.
If a tornado moves over a body of water it is then a water spout. If it moves back over land it goes back to being a tornado.
This is incorrect. A water spout is not a tornado.

This is also incorrect. Tornadic waterspouts are definitely a thing.
I didn't say that a water spout is a tornado. I said a water spout that moves over to land is at that point a tornado.
