Water Spouts Seen on Missouri River Near Great Falls
A group near Great Falls witnessed two water spouts on the Missouri River between Second and Third islands. One pillar of water rose nearly 10 feet as a funnel-shaped cloud moved along the water, causing roaring noise and sudden water agitation before dissipating near the east shore.
