Just to be a bit picky... i don't think it was a typhoon!! Typhoon's are the same as hurricanes.. Both are regional names for tropical cyclones.

I think on the news they were calling it a Tornado, which is more accurate, but as it was out at sea and not over land, its true term is a waterspout!!

I've seen a Tornado in Bristol itself once, and have seen a waterspout at croyde as well.. pretty impressive beasts!!
