Another angle of the waterspout.
We legit thought we were looking at a Tornado. Never seen a Water Spout before. #disneycruise pic.twitter.com/FiaIYEp7vE

Waterspouts are tornados that form over water instead of land. Like a tornado, they feature strong winds and can be accompanied by heavy rain and hail.
Despite being the perfect tropical paradise, Castaway Cay is no stranger to severe storms. Thankfully, waterspouts near the island aren’t extremely common. Guests visiting Castaway Cay should always keep an eye on the weather as tropical storms can develop quickly and with little notice.
