Saw the waterspout that prompted the tornado warning for Orleans on @WWLTV Facebook page. This picture was credited to Dee Derton. (Haven't seen anywhere else on twitter so couldn't just retweet) pic.twitter.com/lmV1UFVn8o

A photo taken from the Lockheed Martin facility also captured the waterspout.
There were no reports of damage as the storm that produced the waterspout weakened, allowing the tornado warning to expire before 2:15 p.m.
