A rare natural spectacle unfolded off Italy’s picturesque island of Capri on Saturday, as two waterspouts formed side by side above the Mediterranean Sea. The dramatic swirling columns appeared beneath heavy clouds near the island’s iconic Faraglioni rock formations, creating a stunning sight for locals. Waterspouts are rotating columns of air and water droplets that commonly occur over the Mediterranean during late summer and autumn, when cooler air moves over warmer waters. While Capri attracts an estimated three million visitors annually, much of its tourism activity winds down during winter leaving locals to witness this extraordinary display of nature.
