Residents Report Damage From Water Spout Turned Tornado in Lanikai

By /
Hawaii News Now has an updated report (and cool pictures) on the tornado that ripped roofs off of a house and a patio and caused other damage this morning. What started as a water spout moved ashore, which made it technically a tornado. It swirled along, with 70 mph winds, for more than a mile before dissipating near Enchanted Lakes.
