A tornado or large waterspout hitting a densely populated beach area would normally leave multiple forms of verification: National Weather Service (NWS) warnings or statements, storm reports logged by meteorological agencies, and rapid coverage by credible local media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NWS Miami office\u2019s beach surf forecast products around the period referenced in the posts include explicit \u201cwaterspout risk\u201d language for South Florida beaches. For example, an NWS Miami surf forecast product covering Miami Beach and nearby areas lists \u201cWaterspout risk\u201d as \u201cNone,\u201d which is not consistent with the dramatic \u201ctornado on the beach\u201d scenario shown in the viral clip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separately, NWS Miami \u201ccurrent hazards\u201d products for the Miami Beach area during mid-December show routine coastal hazard messaging (such as rip current statements) rather than tornado or severe thunderstorm warnings that would be expected during a tornado landfall incident.
