Waterspouts appear over Lake Erie Sunday evening

The cooler air that brought an end to the August heat wave Sunday evening that has been gripping Western New York for the past several days also produced a startling sight on Lake Erie...waterspouts.  The National Weather Service received multiple reports of waterspouts on Lake Erie from Ripley to the Dunkirk area.  Here is a photo from local photographer Byron Rexford of one forming near Dunkirk Harbor. Waterspouts can damage small boats and should be avoided by boaters!
