To clarify, A tornado over water isn't a waterspout. The two are different phenomena and a waterspout is no where near as destructive as a tornado with relatively gentle winds carrying sea spray around the vortex. Waterspouts collapse as they move onto dry land. There's not enough footage here to confirm one way or the other but it appears to loose energy as the base hits the shore so I would summarize it's a waterspout.
i was up the road in Ditchling. A week before I was on the beach wondering what it would be like to see a tornado roll in from the see. They scare the shit out of me
Footiemad87, the most likely place to see a tornado is in the midwest of America, Oklahoma, Kansas ect. the south of england is the UK'S tornado Alley, what we are seeing here is a waterspout, which is basically a tornado at sea, but does'nt need a Cumulonimbus to spawn it, this came out a cumulous congestus cloud. It became a tornado when it hits land, but it dissapated soon after comming ashore
Hey Bram, do you have an email address we can use to contact you regarding this video? I'd love to discuss a license to use this if possible! Cheers, Felix
beauty!!! some people say that tornados are the primitive way of alien abduction...they changed it as soon as they realised "the prey" got ripped off before reach up the ship
@@nathanward9745 There are actually two types of waterspout: tornadic and fair weather. A tornadic waterspout is basically just a tornado that happens to be on water. Landspouts are the land-based equivalent of waterspout. Even then, landspouts meet the meteorological definition of a tornado.
@Dragonsilverfang Tornadoes form over water. I see them form over large lakes sometimes. Cyclones are another word for huricanes that form south of the equator, like in Australia. They are not the same as a tornado. Completely different weather conditions form each of these.... good day! :-D
If the cycle is 11 years, it's sunspot related. Isn't there a tight correlation between mean temperature and greenhouse CO2 ppm? The latter has gone up and stayed up, and the cause is painfully obvious.
...except now there are more tornadoes per season, in more locations, of higher intensities. Plus more intense and varied hurricanes, numerous heat waves and droughts, and all sorts of anomalies that can't be explained away as a normal 'pattern'
i was in whitby ages ago when a tornado started about 100 metres off shore it wasnt big or strong but scared the shit out of every1 on the bach every1 ran
@dragonamt What's really nice to see is either a) some folks are either educated about this or b) have done their homework and can conversate with some knowledge. So many times there are folks that make statements and have no idea what they are talking about so, it is nice to talk to someone that has some idea, if you know what I mean. :-)
@dragonridley Even though it's over water that could classify as a tornado. Depends upon your definition, but true tornadoes form from thunderstorms, and waterspouts can occur without a thunderstorm, even on clear days. This I would call a tornado because of the thunderstorm.
Exatly, guys all we see is small f4-f3 tornadoes down soulth where weather can get densly extreme... its a waterspout or funnel cloud... dont freak!! there too small to kill you mostly...
@bizzybelle2000 Technically, yes, but it is not a shearzone type, which is what most waterspouts are this one looks like a mesocyclone type, in other words, a real one, not a glorified dust devil. Just my observation and opinion. :-D
i live in tunbridge wells in the middle of kent im 12 going on to 13 on the 25th july 2013 i was 6 and lucky enough i was in the car and i saw up above this funnel cloud formation so i called mum and dad back to the car and you wouldent believe the rest but we were heading into the tornadoes path and when it was over head the car started to shake and strain and then the drivers window smashes as of a beach peble being chucked to the car i know crazy right reply if u please
@TheFighterpilot93 You clearly know your stuff. I know a little bit about the science behind tornadoes. Certainly the parts of the USA that get most the big tornadoes are a lot warmer than here. I have friends in Oklahoma I mightvisit at some point could see some big tornadoes there if I go at the right time of year, although would want to get too close!
With the greatest of respect, that is incorrect. The formation, propagation and potential impact of the vortex is exactly the same whether over land or water - it's just called something different. At TORRO we investigate dozens of similar events, and quite a few recently have involved waterspouts moving inland in south coast locations. The tornado over water (a waterspout) isn't necessarily weaker than the land version. It's just a name.
@TheFighterpilot93 lol, yeah, the ones I saw were quite small probably f1, a few others didn't touch down. I think i prefer to live here and have more chance of seeing a small tornado than live in the states and never see one until one day an f4/f5 rips away my house!
The one's in america are significantly more deadly. They can be up to two miles wide with wind speeds over 200 mph or since you guys use km/h that would be around 320 km/h. I live in Texas, I've seen one in person. Maybe not a two mile wide/200 mph monster but it was still powerful enough that people died :(
No, we do not. On average America gets 50-100 tornadoes every year. If we get tornadoes in the UK, we get about 3-4 a year, and not every year, as we do not have our specific season for it.
This is pretty crazy, this was filmed around when I was still living here as a little kid. Thanks for this little piece of my childhood!
no the last person was right...its water spout. Water spout is a violent rotating column of air with strong sheer that occurs in the water.

It's called a waterspout
+Brian Skelly When a waterspout hits land it's then referred to as a tornado, which it does about half way through the video.
No Comment it’s called a land spout when it hits the ground
@@nocomment9532a water spout and a tornado are separate things that look similar. It's a different process
the point is. its extremely rare to see a tornado in england!!!
Per square mile the UK has the most tornadoes in the world.
Check out the european super outbreak in 1984
i was up the road in Ditchling. A week before I was on the beach wondering what it would be like to see a tornado roll in from the see. They scare the shit out of me
That one was sucking up a lot of water. When it came ashore, did it stay on the ground for long?

That's not a tornado, tornadoes form over land.

I bet thats not the longest pipe that was seen in Brighton that day
beauty!!! some people say that tornados are the primitive way of alien abduction...they changed it as soon as they realised "the prey" got ripped off before reach up the ship
great footage of a tornado!
It did. There is clearly a cloud of spray below the funnel which confirms the touchdown.
That would make it a waterspout. If it was on land it would be a tornado.
Tornados and water spouts are different. A water spout on land is a landspout. It's in interesting topic if you wish to look into it.

Old video but tornado in the UK? In October? Wow
This is amazing footage, I'd shit myself if I'd been there

this was actually an f0 tornado that struck the uk 2 days before this vid was posted

Why don't they sound your sirens. In the US they sound the sirens for sever thunderstorms and fires.
i know brighton and i been there loads of times. did it came to land and did it degtory the buildings.
waterspout
Omg... Its was same day as mine school start 7am at brighton ( Hamilton lodge school deaf children ) Im lucky to save hahah xD
It looks to be a tornadic waterspout, I can't tell.
Exatly, guys all we see is small f4-f3 tornadoes down soulth where weather can get densly extreme... its a waterspout or funnel cloud... dont freak!! there too small to kill you mostly...
That was one cool thunderstorm had lots of lightning but was not expecting a waterspout 1st one i have seen in brighton

Yes as not alot of people know there was one in birmingham a while ago. i could see it from my room.
i was in the one in bham aswell,tis oracle by the way
@TheFighterpilot93 that's true, I saw it on QI. We had about 4 here in pembrokeshire last week!
i live in tunbridge wells in the middle of kent
im 12 going on to 13 on the 25th july 2013
i was 6 and lucky enough i was in the car and i saw up above this funnel cloud formation so i called mum and dad back to the car and you wouldent believe the rest but we were heading into the tornadoes path and when it was over head the car started to shake and strain and then the drivers window smashes as of a beach peble being chucked to the car
i know crazy right
reply if u please
@MaisielsAwesome you are right.
aunty M!!!!
@dragonridley excuse me watch further it comes on to the land
@TheFighterpilot93 You clearly know your stuff. I know a little bit about the science behind tornadoes. Certainly the parts of the USA that get most the big tornadoes are a lot warmer than here.

did it start raining cod ;)
Hahah, we don't have sirens here, its just because they are very are in England and if we get one, then people just get exicted..Lol:D
the tornedoes in britain dont even touch the ground
lol its only a funnel cloud with spray from the water. not a tornado
If you look closely, you can see another funnel cloud forming to the far left!

Lol i love your accents, god that looks horrible id be crappin myself lol
@TheFighterpilot93 lol, yeah, the ones I saw were quite small probably f1, a few others didn't touch down. I think i prefer to live here and have more chance of seeing a small tornado than live in the states and never see one until one day an f4/f5 rips away my house!
Nice waterspout.
wow
@justme200194 oh yh,
i wonder why we only have a few tornado sirens in the uk we have more tornado's then america
The one's in america are significantly more deadly. They can be up to two miles wide with wind speeds over 200 mph or since you guys use km/h that would be around 320 km/h. I live in Texas, I've seen one in person. Maybe not a two mile wide/200 mph monster but it was still powerful enough that people died :(
Those are usually EF5's. I'd say they are less common than your average tornado. Usually you see EF2-EF3's where I live.
No, we do not. On average America gets 50-100 tornadoes every year. If we get tornadoes in the UK, we get about 3-4 a year, and not every year, as we do not have our specific season for it.
Forfinian
Bang wrong I'm afraid.
We get about 30-40 tornadoes per year in the UK.
In 2014 the USA had 584 confirmed tornadoes.
Gareth Carthew damn, thats a lot of tornadoes. for both countries. but still, more tornadoes in america.
Oh shit u see that blue car that was me
No it wasn't.......it was the owner of the shop 8n st James street
You absolute Meljeb
Thats a water spout
Tornado - 1. Is USA and 2. Is UK
What
Did u see tht bird it looked like it span around inside it and came out in the other direction at 1:43 lol
Cuz we Dnt have any here in the uk we Dnt need em yet lol
I was there!!!
No you really weren't
@coolgirlyhotty thats like 30 mins to me
@dangleberry07 very clever lol
yeh!
Too Tornadoes?
incorrect.
@dangleberry07 hahahaah
must be a gaynado
lol
That's embarrassing for the tornado. Its only tiny compared to Americas D: Aww, it had a sister forming near it though :P
Come to the midwest in the US during spring and you won't be exicted unless your weather geek like myslf lol
lol
