Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A family of narrow waterspouts was observed well northwest of Key West Harbor. Spray rings were not visible due to the large distance from shore.

The wider storm

Increasing southeasterly lower tropospheric winds produced several leeward cloud streets extending from the Lower Florida Keys in the nearshore Gulf of Mexico waters. Several waterspouts resulted.

Began near Smith Shoal Light (24.6600, -81.9200).
