The Singapore Harbor waterspout

An enormous waterspout passed through anchored shipping at Singapore during early to mid-afternoon on May 25. It may have lasted 15 minutes.  I haven't found any reports of loss of life or shipping, so that's good.

Here's a video from Lova744 in Singapore.  The spout passes within a few yards of one ship about 52 seconds into the video, causing it to pivot around its anchor:

Here's an inventory of often spectacular photos at flickr: Singapore waterspout.  The next video shows the whole thing in "fast forward" (from lategahndotcom):

Here's a link to a slower, real-time, video of the waterspout sweeping through the shipping: Singapore Waterspout .  I like this one because it gives a panoramic sense of the spout passing across the harbor.
