Dramatic water tornado appears off Australia coast

A waterspout blasts off the east coast of Australia, creating a fountain of water hundreds of metres high.



A waterspout appeared off the central coast of Australia's New South Wales on Monday causing a huge sprouting fountain in the middle of the ocean.



Waterspouts are formed when a high layer of cold air blows across a body of water, either the ocean, a lake or a river and clashes with the warm air below.



Inside the spout, winds can reach speeds of up to 62.1 miles an hour. They have also been known to pick up various sea-life and dump it on land.



A heavy storm across the coast, north of Sydney resulted in three additional waterspouts, according to local residents.



Like land tornadoes, waterspouts often appear in groups.
