Apparent waterspout spotted off Atlantic Beach

An apparent waterspout spotted along the boardwalk in Atlantic Beach, New York prompted a shelter-in-place order for residents in the Village of Lawrence Thursday afternoon. The sighting comes after a wet and windy day across Long Island. The scene was reminiscent of another waterspout spotted in August near the Sun and Surf Beach Club, about a mile from Thursday’s sighting. That incident coincided with a tornado touching down in Atlantic Beach.
