A wild sight off the coast of Assateague State Park!
Park technician Will Gabeler captured these photos while working on the dune, getting a front row view of a waterspout churning up the ocean. The funnel was spinning offshore and moving away from land, so there was no danger of it coming ashore.
A waterspout is a rapidly rotating column of air and water spray that forms over the water, connecting a dark convective cloud, usually cumulus or cumulonimbus, to the surface. It looks like a twisting funnel, similar to a tornado, but is typically less intense and short lived.
Nature was putting on a show today! 🌊🌪️

The #BostonMarathon was yesterday! 🏃🏻♂️
This happened. 🥹⤵️
What makes this more significant is that these are the competitive runners. Sacrificing your pace, time, and position this close to the finish is not an easy choice. 🙌🏼

A watchful D.C. resident sent me a photo of something we haven’t seen in years; water flowing down the cascading fountain at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park. NPS started work on the long-dry fountain late last year, as part of a broader project to refurbish the park.

ALT Don't underestimate the power of water! 6 inches of fast-moving water can knock over and carry away an adult. 12 inches of fast-moving water can carry away a small car. 18-24 inches of fast-moving water can carry away most large SUVs, vans and trucks.

Sophie Cunningham was hoping for a multiyear deal in Indiana.
She still returned to the Fever over other multiyear offers, because "when you find a group of girls who really make you fall in love with basketball ... you want to hold onto that."
