1995 Orion V CNG Posted November 29, 2014 Share #26 Posted November 29, 2014 What is a waterspout? I already finished the destruction parts, all i have left to do now is the subway destruction. It's a tornado over water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 29, 2014 Share #27 Posted November 29, 2014 Waterspouts are generally small. And any land tornado that forms in the city would also likely be small (and very brief), because there's not a lot of space to suck the air from the ground. You'd do better with a hurricane (which could be as big as the city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted December 1, 2014 Share #29 Posted December 1, 2014 No; even though they have similar dynamics (rise of hot air and drop of cool air in a swirling motion), tornadoes are more localized, while hurricanes are a bit more [semi-]global (tied in with the entire ocean currents) and thus much huger. Hurricanes can produce tornadoes [ i.e. their own distinct funnel clouds simultaneously], however! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
