" National Weather Service says they've spotted water spouts off coast near me."

I think water spouts usually pull up once they hit land. Of course the rain the drops from the cloud the water spout is in has been known to rain fish and other things that the water spout picked up at sea.... I've seen water spouts in FL before and they don't look near as scary as a tornado. They are usually really skinny too so wouldn't have as wide of a path as a regular tornado I think.
