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 in the north portion of Niles Channel between Summerland Key and Big Pine Key. The waterspouts varied from thick to thin condensation funnels and all featuring observed spray rings.

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, -81.4300).
