A huge waterspout has been seen off the New Plymouth coast this morning, Wednesday 7th August 2013. At around 7:20am people reported seeing the spout about 2 kilometres offshore from Fitzroy and Waiwhakaiho. Estimated the spout was about 50-100 metres wide and pulling in around 200m of water, it moved towards the shore and hit land at the Links near Bell Block where it kept going for a short time before it disappeared from view. Fire and police services said there had been no reports of damage. The amazing Photo Credit is to the the well-known surfer Daisy Day.
