On Sunday a large US Mail tractor trailer truck was torn up when a water spout hit a section of the south approach to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge near Bradenton, Florida.
Water spouts (weak tornados over water) are very frequent in Florida. This one held together long enough to destroy the truck. The driver had no injuries. Mail in the truck went flying.
Video can be seen here of a guy chasing the water spout....you can skip to the 4 minute mark to see it hit land. It hits the truck at the end of the video.
