filmed off the coast of Comacchio
Ffilmed off the coast of Comacchio at around 1pm on Sunday, giant waterspouts were seen being formed off Italy's Delta del Po, on the country's east coast
Strong gusts of wind helped two huge waterspouts merge just off Italy's Delta del Po, on the country's east coast.

A local tour boat operator paused an excursion so he could film the spectacle.

Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes that occur over water. Around 500 occur in Europe every year, according to data from the European severe weather database.
