Incredible pictures of Gold Coast waterspouts

INCREDIBLE pictures are emerging of waterspouts forming on Queensland’s Gold Coast this afternoon. 

Local photographer Michelle Clibbon from MJC Photography captured the phenomenon from Main Beach just after midday and posted her shots online.

“Some nice little funnels formed off the Gold Coast this arvo” she wrote. “Was a little late getting there but did see a couple touch water when we first got there.”

There’s been numerous reported sightings right up and down the coast throughout the day.

Earlier on Thursday morning, the largest storm chasing website in Australia – Higgins Storm Chasing – warned of waterspouts and funnels forming offshore.
