Massive 'wrong way' waterspout makes landfall in Malaysia, damaging 50 buildings
By Matthew Cappucci April 1 at 4:51 PM Eyewitness video captured a massive waterspout whirling ashore Monday afternoon on Penang Island, Malaysia. Channel News Asia reported 50 buildings were severely damaged as the destructive funnel made landfall.
A waterspout on the shores of Penang, Malaysia, in this image obtained from social media April 1. Waterspouts this large are often the product of supercell or rotating thunderstorms, distinguishing them as true tornadoes over water. Occasionally supercell thunderstorms develop in the tropics but seldom if ever in Malaysia.
The separation of updraft and downdraft is a marked trait of mature supercells, but the direction of spin is highly unusual. Dark bands on the ocean’s surface show clockwise circulation.
