Ever seen a giant waterspout? Here’s what British Columbia residents witnessed Saturday
A giant waterspout spotted Saturday near Vancouver International Airport in British Columbia triggered a brief tornado watch, according to the CBC.
Environment Canada — the equivalent of the National Weather Service here — briefly issued a rare tornado watch for Metro Vancouver and Howe Sound on Saturday evening, the CBC reported.
“A waterspout was spotted west of Vancouver International Airport and is moving north toward West Vancouver and the mouth of Howe Sound including Bowen Island,” the CBC reported, citing Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Images of the waterspout were captured on social media.
The potential for strong winds in the Metro Vancouver area will continue Monday night and Tuesday, according to Environment Canada.
