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

What the National Weather Service wrote

A family of waterspouts was observed between Summerland and Big Pine Key on the Gulf of America waters. The waterspouts all had full condensation funnel clouds extending from cloud base to the water surface with one featuring a visible spray ring.

The wider storm

A weak lower tropospheric boundary moved eastward and intersected with a developing cumulus cloud line embedded in west-southwest flow. This initiated conditions for waterspout formation along the Gulf side of the Lower Florida Keys.

Began near Summerland Key (24.6900, -81.4400).
