Funnel Cloud Spotted in Ludington, Michigan

2017-10-31 5

Residents in Ludington, Michigan, reported a funnel cloud formed over the city on the afternoon of Monday, October 30, as hail and strong winds swept the area.

The National Weather Service Grand Rapids said in a Facebook post that the waterspout formed on Lake Michigan before turning into a funnel cloud as it swept onshore. “Waterspouts dissipate fairly quickly after reaching shore, but the funnel cloud can persist and any remnant ground circulation could produce a wind gust over 50 mph before diminishing.”
