to admin, I am not certain if this belongs here or to Target area, please feel free to move if needed.

I am living in Switzerland, I chased with swiss meteorologist Dean Gill on 25 october and saw a nice tornadic waterspout just off the coast of Italy, near Riomaggiore in Cinque Terre Liguria.

huge rainfalls has caused flashfloods and mudslides in the area. numerous roads closed. several people died. Heavy damage in some towns.

we left Geneva at 6 AM. On italian side of MontBlanc tunnel it was snowing. watched the storm from east of Portofino, then tried to cross the storm on small roads but the flooding problem was getting too intense so we turned around and took interstate A12 and got to the east/south warmair side of the storm, saw a few weak spouts / gustnadoes? / funnels , ... and finally at half past 3 PM a nice tornado at Sea


some videos of the day are on now on my youtube channel
