VIDEO: ‘It was a big one’: massive waterspout touches down near Qualicum
PARKSVILLE — A large and powerful waterspout churned up the ocean off Lasqueti Island Thursday morning.
It was captured on video by Qualicum Beach resident Sigmund Sort, whose curiosity was piqued by a “monster sized cloud.” He began filming after seeing the waterspout from his waterfront home.
“As that finger came out of the cloud I knew what was developing, but I didn’t know how big it would eventually become,” Sort said. “I was lucky to capture it with a camera.”
