@PatBeaton1 They are not graded like land tornados are. However, we do categorize them. The two main types are "severe weather type" and "fair weather type." There are also sub-types.

Severe weather waterspouts move on land and cause damage at Marsala, Sicily. October 9, 2026 https://t.co/D5mEYAdYed

NOBODY is telling you how bad the storm in Italy really is.

A double waterspout hit Marsala, Sicily and came ashore as a tornado.

It ripped through homes. Threw cars. Destroyed a school.

11 people injured. 4 of them children. A 70-year-old rushed to Palermo in serious condition.

And the storms are still moving across Italy, from Sicily to Rome.

This is Europe now.

Bookmark this. Then follow, because this season is just getting started. 🌪️

@MiStormChasers This is called "virga." Falling precipitation that evaporates before it hits the ground. https://t.co/D5mEYAew3L

@ClaireA_Wx @fox13seattle Hello. Thank you for this report. This was most likely a "spray devil". If there was a severe thunderstorm associated, then it is a "gustnado." See our explanation at: https://t.co/zq35anm4D0
