Two enormous waterspouts have been spotted swirling off the coast of a glamorous holiday island in a spectacular natural phenomenon.
Incredible footage shows the twin tornado-like formations spiralling above the sea near Capri in Italy, appearing to form a giant arch over the island’s famous Faraglioni rock formations.
The rare sight unfolded on Saturday morning (7 November) as storm clouds gathered over the island in southern Italy, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Two towering columns can be seen stretching down from the dark clouds towards the sea, with the swirling funnels moving closer together as they almost embrace the iconic coastal rocks.
The dramatic spectacle was captured on camera and quickly attracted attention online.
The phenomenon occurred as the Campania region was under a yellow weather alert, with forecasters warning of heavy thunderstorms and a risk of landslides.
Waterspouts are spinning columns of air and water that develop beneath storm clouds when atmospheric conditions become unstable.
Although they can be dangerous to boats and coastal areas, the two formations remained offshore and did not make landfall.
