I've always told friends in Florida and the Midwest that I'd moved to Alaska because there are no snakes, hurricanes or tornadoes. When I saw this video on weather.com this morning, I thought I might have to start amending my reasons for moving north.

It's a video of a waterspout off Koyuk, taken last week by Dorothy Ivanoff from a Cessna flying nearby. The waterspout dissipated before it reached land, so I can still say I haven't heard of any tornadoes up here, but it's close enough. And being in a little plane that close to one? No thanks.
