Waterspout spotted in Auckland gulf
A large water funnel resembling a tornado has been spotted in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf today. The cloud drew dozens of responses on Twitter from users, who frequently called it a tornado.

"Just saw a waterspout tornado in Auckland city!" wrote Twitter user Lara Jonsdottir. On Twitter, "The whole office has congregated to check out a mini ... tornado outside," wrote Twitter user unicorns and tanks.

"Everyone was so excited," tweeted Alfred Chong. "Thank God it's dissolved now." "There was a mini tornado heading our way," tweeted Merryn. "There was a big ominious bit of sky above my head, so naturally that was the fasted I've ever walked home."

Weatherwatch.co.nz forecaster Philip Duncan said the cloud was a water spout, not a tornado.
