Not the first tornado video I've seen where a man continues to hold the camera while a woman nearby continues to yell at him to stop and take cover.

"Do you here me?" "Lisa, hush." "You need to get in." "Hush." "GET INSIDE NOW!"

Anyone else notice the white shirted dude at 6:14 just casually walking off the beach even though there's a giant tornado behind him?

Funny how while it's over water it sort of looks a bit harmless, then as soon as it hits land all of a sudden it's a tornado and takes on an entirely different presence.

Lisa: SDLFKGLKSFDGJLKSFDG Jeremy: Hush Lisa.... LOL!

Great job of recording! Now Lisa was just being cautious and she was actually right about not knowing where it could turn. I've seen many crazy tornadoes here in Iowa.

Thank-you for not listening to Lisa btw. Props to you! ;D

It's definitely a tornadic waterspout, it is powerful enough to take a roof off of a house. When I lived in the keys we would see them a lot and some were harmless enough that people would go through them in boats for the fun of it and some you could tell were powerful enough to do extensive damage like this one and they did. My neighbor at the end of our road had half of his roof tiles ripped off and his windows all smashed out on one side of his house and it didn't even hit him directly so some of they are supposedly called tornadic waterspouts when they are that powerful from what I hear. Cool video, they are definitely a sight to see!

For all of those people commenting on how it just looks like a large Dust Devil, please remember that the last minutes of the video don't show the funnel cloud because of the balcony above me. The funnel cloud is still there, I just can't film it. You see this fact earlier in the clip while it is still out over the water. The funnel just above the spinning water is clear. Also, all this talk about it not being dangerous is foolish. The walkways it picked up and threw into the air were quite heavy. Heavier than myself. It would have thrown a grown man several hundred feet in any direction including up.

I love how people were standing out on the beach even when there's a freaking waterspout heading right toward them.

Haha Jeremy don't feel bad my girl would've done & said the same the entire time as well. Amazing capture, thanks for sharing

It was associated with a black thunder cloud. Thats a tornado over water. Once on land, its a regual tornado and youd better get out of its way.

Lisa "JEREEEEEEMMMMYYYYY"

Lovely clip, Jeremy, and your comments are accurate. I don't blame your wife for worrying, even though I'd be more like the people on the beach, since I love natural phenomena. Still, one should never underestimate the speed and power of those winds, and the damage flying debris can cause.

" you don't know which way it's gonna tuuuuurn!!" Lol

Thank you, Mr. Kesler. For this wonderful recording of unique Nature.

omg ur wife is....loud?! if thats the right word for it lol! i know she was worried but wow! if i ever yelled at my husband like that he'd think i was a crazy person. awesome video tho! ur lucky to have experienced this! ive always wanted to watch a tornado... ive had a curiosity when it comes to twisters since i was a kid.

The best Waterspout video I've seen splendid job there Jeremy

This is great video! Steady, high quality, and dramatic. Amazing!

Uhh, people, better start running.

Awesome, breath-taking video! Thank you for sharing!

wow, this is amazing. thank you for being so persistent with filming this entire event. it must have been crazy staring right at that spout, but the footage you took when it was approaching the beach was amazing. being so close to see the vortex of water suspended in air, and having such a good record that can be watched any number of times. Humanity and science need more of this stuff

I always find screaming helps in a stressful, potentially dangerous situation. You know, like during fire drills or while arguing with others....

Thanks for Sharing, we were there that day about a 1/2 mile north watching as it came by the hotel. Such an extraordinary thing to see, I am glad you got a good video of it.

Geez lady, no wonder men call us hysterical. Thanks for that.

That scenario is amazing. It looks like a movie. good work

Just saw your video on TV, awesome man!

I must say, this is really amazing footage.

Great footage brother. Thanks for sharing.

That was beautiful. Great vid.

I can't believe those people were still swimming for so long and just hanging on the beach. Loved hearing your wife!!! That would be me too!!

Wow that was wild...great video!

Why did she scream when clearly you were already inside just had to close the back door ?

Just wow! I've watched some fab thunderstorms out at sea here in the UK but nothing as impressive as this!

Love the video, it is not something we get to see often from the land down under =]

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing.

I go to Carolina Beach! I see a condo I've drove past 😊 That's insane! The things I'm scared of in the ocean, this, hurricane, typhoon, whirlpool, creatures. But I still love it

Just found your video. It came right across the condo we were staying in. We never knew it because we slept right through it. After the Early Bird fishing trip on Winner we were exhausted. lol. I thought the teenagers had went nuts with water on the deck.

I saw this on the weather channel, haha. My mum & I were watching it. I was commenting on how I would've ran inside if I saw that!

Great video.

Atleast it was a waterspout nor then a deadly twister! :) god bless your family for being safe God was watching y'all

badass. the motion and separate vortices look capable of at least ef1 damage, maybe even ef2.

I LOVE KZfaq, and people that know what they're doing with a camera : )

Nice video!

I would go outside and go play in it.

I WAS THERE!

The girl is right, you need to get in side

Great video! .... A few chairs is a small price to pay to witness a once-in-a-lifetime experience such as that!

Wow great vid. RIP chairs. You're previous owners miss you greatly.

Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Thanks for sharing, worried yelling lady and all :)

Love how the one guy is as cool as a cucumber near the gate!

Sorry if I sound like a nag, but your wife was right. That tornado could've changed directions at any moment. Also, congrats on surviving the tornado!

Amazing!!

Lol. " there goes my chair."

nice vid. was a spout defo tornado upgrade

"There goes our chairs"

Great video Jezza. Mother nature Full HD 60p in all its glory. Was a beautiful sight to behold.

This video was so cool and your the lady in the background was so cute "get inside!!!!" What I'm wondering is why all those people on the beach waited until it got close to try and run away .lol

Incredible.

Be very careful of these. They are offshore tornadoes. Boaters get hit and the boat can lift off the water, throwing the occupants around. I don't know the damage/danger of being killed by one, but I'd respect them a LOT especially when they come to shore. And waterspouts can appear almost entirely transparent, being made only of water. If you can see it on the water, it's a fully formed spout. Finally, once on land, they can power-up and cause significant injury/damage. It only takes seconds for a tornado to form, so a water spout is a head start on the process. All of that being said, I hope no one was hurt, and I'm with you, I would have done exactly as you did and video the whole thing. I loved every minute of it!

+jeremy kesler tip for the future, if a spinning vortex looks like its standing still (alas looking at you), that means it's either coming towards or away from you. Either way, get cover anyway. Good Job staying safe.

my grandpa used to live in florida and one day a waterspout came right down the canal practically in his backyard! it didnt hit his house but just kept twirling down the canal as if it was guided by it.

To people ragging on this guys wife that was screaming...if MY husband was going to be sucked into a tornado I’d say GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE TOO. She does it because she cares about the husband. She’s a good wife. She was worried her husband was going to get KILLED. The guy should have listened to her and cared about what she was saying. Any good husband should be protecting himself and his wife.

Also watching this in 1080 60p is just awesome.

This is not just a waterspout. It's a tornadic waterspout. Tornado forming over water and continuing, instead of weakening, once it moves to land. True waterspouts are weak and form via convective means. Once they reach land and lose the energy of the warm waters, they tend to dissipate.

Great job Jeremy, that was awsome! My wife would be hollering like that too!

I believe this is a tornado that formed over water and not a true water spout. The wind speeds and size appear too great for a true waterspout, which does not form the same way an actual tornado does.

I cant believe the people so close to it as it came ashore. CRAZY!! Awesome video

hey really nice man and thanks-!

5:50 look at the people getting dragged at the beach

Amazing

people dont realise, a water spot has enough force to rip up a roof, toss a car around, which means i can make short work of people. just because is can be smaller it still is a tornado.

Two types, Fair Weather Water Spouts (weaker) and Tornadic Water Spouts (stronger). The Tornadic stronger type are associated with Thunderstorms that form over the water.

Incredibly risky, but big thanks for filming as long as you did. From other videos I've seen, it looks like a harmless dust devil but it's not, and can easily whip large objects into the air. Standing close to it seems like you'd be sandblasted with dust, or worse, run the risk of being hit by flying objects. No thanks. After seeing this i'll know to take cover.

I wouldn't be so sure. If you watch the end of the video you'll see two large wooden walk ways lifted up into the air. One of them at least 100'. I'd say they both would weigh several hundred pounds. So, anything in the several hundred pounds range: walkway, motorcycle... human...

that is pretty wicked. The force of nature. I assume EF1? strong enough to pick objects up and toss em. Stay safe! I'd be filiming it too!.

Looks very dramatic, i like it ;) What camera did u use?

Das ist ja ein cooles Video. Um sowas zu Filmen braucht man schon ein wenig Glück!

When a waterspout comes onland it immediately becomes a tornado, and quite often they gain strength too so you guys a quite lucky that you were not in its path, my sypathies for losing your chairs aha, just curious did it do any structural damage??

it turned out to a dust devil at the end

I wanna slap some of these people that were on the beach with CHILDREN. There was something EXTREMELY close by that posed a MAJOR threat to a child and they waited til the last second to leave. I saw several people scoop up small kids just moments before the funnel hit the shoreline. Irresponsible.

My condolences go to those chairs.....You will be missed very dearly, rest in peace.

"It's ok, we can buy new chairs" lol

that's pretty cool

To Lisa, If he didnt listen to you after the first two warnings, stop telling him. Let him find out the hard way.

Since I am from NC, I got tickled... we Carolina women can do some freaking out when our folks are in danger!!! I sit here and listen and think... oh my goodnesssss... that would be ME screaming

dang.. I'd love to see a waterspout that close.

Awesome waterspouts are cool! Not strong tho you could have stayed outside and been fine!

That was me somewhere in the forefront with my kids. While so many ran, we manned it out. I told my kids waterspouts aren't powerful and nobody would get hurt. I was right!

that's really neat though id hate to see that lady in the storm we had here in Texas a few months back lol just wind did FAR more damage then that thing

i was there- super frightening when it turned into a land tornado and came on top of the mariott hotel! (my hotel)

Isn't it unusual for tornados/waterspouts to move from east to west?

extreme close up my ass, look at the people on the beach just chilling, enjoying the sight. ur to scared to even step on ur balkony COME ON

I can't understand why it didn't pull more sand up. The inland ones can often uproot trees.

Sweet tube

The transformation from waterspout to dust devil O_O

If you look at one of the guys on the left he starts struggling to not get sucked in

"There goes our chairs."

"GET IN JEREMY!!!" "...wow."
