May 31st was the first day I had the digital camcorder.  I was anxious to see what this camcorder could do.  I was treated to 2 waterspouts during the afternoon between 3:55 and 4:05 pm.  Both lasted only 5 or 6 minutes and formed about 7 miles away, just west of Lake Pontchartrain Causeway which connects the north  and south shores.  They moved southward and dissipated before reaching the shoreline.  Neither did any damage.  You can see the water being sprayed out in the lower portion of the funnels.
