It was a scary scene off the coast of Muskegon State Park on Monday night.
Several eyewitnesses spotted a large waterspout -- a tornado over the water -- on the state's West coast. As a storm developed over Lake Michigan on its approach to the coast, a funnel developed over the water and was well-documented by those in surrounding areas.
While they look intimidating, waterspouts are generally weaker than tornados and dissipate when they reach land. However, waterspouts can be extremely dangerous for boaters.
