Tornado in Singapore?

Unbelievable. We just witness a very rare occurrence of a tornado just off the southern coast of Singapore. It ripped right through some vessels and tankers off the harbor. Here are some pics we took from Microsoft Singapore's office of this Waterspout.

Please do not try to create hype in your post by saying "ripped through" when you don't know if any damage was done at all.

Sometimes when even low speed whirlwinds form over water bodies, they create water spouts which don't do much wind damage at all.

i was staring right at it as it ripped through the water through the line of ships/boats.. whether it caused damage or not, doesn't matter.

I'm from Florida where we use to get waterspouts (not "tornadoes") all the time. I'm pretty surprised to see one near Singapore. That must be rare indeed.

We saw one on August 14, 2007 while waiting for a flight from Singapore to Chiangmai...so not so unusual.
