The waterspouts were reported by trained spotters and police officials, according to the National Weather Service. Also known as a tornado over water, the waterspouts were spawned by a storm that moved over the lake. A special marine warning remains in effect until 5:15 p.m. along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
