A spectacular waterspout formed Sunday off the coast of Batemans Bay, Australia.
A waterspout is similar to a tornado over water, but they typically break apart when they hit land.
The state emergency service was called to more than 120 cases of power outages on the north coast of new south wales.
Homeowners at 2,000 properties were advised their power would be out for up to 48 hours because major power lines were knocked down.
