Huge waterspout forms off Batemans Bay in Australia, 140 miles south of Sydney.

Keep driving! Jeep speeds past seafront as huge waterspout heads inland

It may have looked like something out of a disaster movie - but the Jeep driver passing through was probably under no illusions to the very real threat posed by this gigantic waterspout.

The amazing natural phenomenon, which is created when tornadoes form above the sea, was spotted earlier today along the shoreline near Batemans Bay, which is 140 miles (225km) south of Sydney.
