A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water, connected to a cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water.
Waterspouts do not suck up water; the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets formed by condensation.
