We were fishing on the Umatilla II, out of Newport Marina Store and Charter's in Newport, OR. It was opening Salmon Day and the fish were bountiful! When out of the sky came a TWISTER!!! We all watched in wonder. Not knowing if it would dance upon the sea or just disapate. We watched it for quite some time. The wind picked up, the temperature dropped and the rain pounded down upon us...yet, we continued to FISH : ) It never touched down, but it was such a sight to see!

Wow "A Reader." Of course it's a Funnel Cloud, and of course it's going to be a Water Spout if it touches down because it's quite plainly Water-Based. Not only that, it's a Cold-Core Storm which is producing such a thing. Pretty simple minded.

Everyone has to spell check and be a critic huh! Why can't you just let it go?! There are some that are challenges so let it go!? Golly gee willackers!

And 'disapate' should be dissipate. But overall, that would have been an incredible experience to go through!

It's a funnel cloud. If it touches down on water then it becomes a waterspout, a cousin of the land-based tornado. "Sited" should be "sighted."
