To the Editor:
On July 25, a thunderstorm was coming on the oceanfront. It started with weird clouds that moved quickly into view above the ocean. Just while the wind was getting fierce, a full sandspout came. It looked like a tornado of sand. It spun around and then disappeared.
Close after that some clouds swirled around extremely near to the ocean surface like a waterspout was going to form. The sky was half light and half dark with storm clouds.
