Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over bodies of water and can be particularly dangerous due to their tendency to move quickly, sometimes up to speeds of 50 mph. The 1997 waterspout off the coast of Stuart was one of only four recorded off the east coast since records have been kept. It was also the smallest tornado on record, with a diameter of just 40 feet and a timeframe lasting less than 15 minutes. The waterspout moved from north-northeast to south-southwest at around 25 mph. While it fortunately caused no damage or injuries, it did leave behind wind gusts of up to 35 mph near the coastline.
