SINGAPORE - A large column of water was spotted off Singapore's East Coast on Saturday (Aug 6), prompting people across the island to share photos and videos of it on social media.

It is likely a water spout, which occurs when a type of cloud, cumuliform, forms during thunderstorms, creating low-pressure pockets.

They are common in tropical waters, and are usually spotted off Singapore once or twice a year. One was spotted in Clementi in October 2014, and reports of water spouts have appeared in local newspapers as far back as 1908.

a waterspout is the size of a tall skyscraper. a hurricane is the size of a continent. this is a hurricane. and notice the curvature of the earth, for those flat earth believers.

Yup, our resident PAPzi groupie has difficulty with comparisons. But I supposed the tendency to exaggerate threats comes with being a PAPzi supporter.
