LAKE MARY, Fla. - Video recorded on Wednesday appears to show a landspout moving offshore at Daytona Beach and becoming what is known as a waterspout. FOX 35 Storm Tracker Radar at the time showed some weak rotation.
"It's likely water and sand being blown about and upwards. Doesn't look like there was a visible condensation funnel," said FOX 35 Storm Team Meteorologist Ian Cassette as he analyzed a video recorded by Greg Edwards and obtained by FOX 35 News.

Waterspouts are typically weak and short-lived tornadoes that form when updrafts from storms or showers pull rotating air upwards. It is possible for stronger waterspouts to form if the conditions are right.
