Just ask this Miami native Samantha Meazaros who captured this image on her way back from picking up a pizza, according to a report. She said, “My friends and I were on our way home from getting pizza and were stopped at a red light. I looked over to my mom to tell her something and noticed the cloud formation in the corner of my eye. I then mentioned (shouted) about it to my mom and friends that there was a quite unique cloud formation to their left. We all then started laughing so hard that we had to pull over, and that's when I pulled out my camera and started recording the "breathtaking" view."
Incidentally, this type of cloud is called as the cumulus congestus cloud. In Latin, “congestus” means “piled up”. This occurs when the cloud has not reached its complete precipitation stage.
These clouds tend to be vertical plumes of fluffiness like so:
Evidently, this is not the first time it's happened, either. Watch this Kiwi-based weatherman explain this "waterspout" as his colleagues' break into peals of laughter.
