Why all this drivel about whether its a tormado or a waterspout. They act like they are differant things but a water spout can run onto the shore becomeing a tornado and vis e versa.

I live in Mairangi bay and we saw a 'tornado' or funnel cloud about a couple of miles north of us at around 4.20pm - very close and very clear. I was in the car so couldn't film but several kids did. Hopefully someone has some footage.

It's only a tornado if it touches the surface, otherwise it's called a funnel cloud.
