Waterspout across Intracoastal from Harvard Drive College Park area

UPDATE--SEE 2ND SPOUT BELOW
I was sent this photo just now by a Lake Worth resident who took this photo of a waterspout across from her home. Waterspouts can do a lot of damage.

From the photo it looks like a "Tornadic waterspout," also accurately referred to as "tornadoes over water," are formed from mesocyclones in a manner essentially identical to land-based tornadoes in connection with severe thunderstorms, but simply occurring over water.

It was reported that this was moving down the coast. Has anyone ever seen a waterspout before? I just got a severe weather alert on my phone until 6:15.

See the videos
