A monster waterspout has been spotted churning up the sea off the British coast.
The towering twister was seen spiralling towards the water’s surface as dark storm clouds loomed overhead.
The weather phenomenon was spotted by shocked Anna Blake.

She said it was the first time she’d seen a waterspout.
“It was pretty cool,” she told Need To Know.
“I have never seen one before.
“I’m a sailor too, so I spend some time on the water.
“It must have been pretty big.
“For it to be so clear, despite me being on shore, shows you how big it was.”
She saw it near Hythe, Kent.
Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes over water.
They are generally broken into two categories: fair-weather waterspouts and tornadic waterspouts.
Tornadic waterspouts are simply tornadoes that form over water or move from land to water.
They have the same characteristics as a land tornado and are relatively rare around the UK.
