Twin Waterspouts dazzle onlookers over Lake Michigan
Source: Dueling “twin waterspouts” dazzled onlookers Thursday afternoon over lake Michigan off Kenosha, Wisconsin. Check out these incredible photos captured by the the Kenosha Police Department. Waterspouts are relatively rare in the Upper Midwest. The spouts are simply tornadoes over water thus the name. The storms are spawned from parent thunderstorms just as they are over land when they are called tornadoes.

No damage was reported and the apparently twisters did not move over land.
