Image: Punta Gorda waterspout

Description: Photograph of waterspout over the Peace River, at approximately 740 PM EDT July 15, 2005. This tornadic waterspout developed just north of Punta Gorda during the evening of July 15th. The spout remained near or over water for most of its life. For the short period on land, only minor damage was reported, mostly to trees. One residence sustained minor damage. Power outages were also noted in the area; however, some of these may have been due to locally excessive cloud to ground lightning strikes.
