A waterspout came ashore on a Fort Lauderdale, Florida beach, uprooting an occupied bounce house castle and hurling it 50 feet in the air. For those of you with learning disabilities like me, a waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water, according to my extensive Wikipedia search.
The video shows the bouncy castle get swept off the beach, and flipping several times before being lifted further in the air, sending it across a parking lot into a roadway.
Three children were injured in the incident, one being held overnight for observations and two were treated for minor fractures and released, according to ABC News.
Florida is getting creative with its insanity, even bringing nature into its absurdity. Just when you thought all Florida was good for was a few stories about dudes getting naked on meth and running around claiming to be the Messiah, Mother Nature decides to launch a bouncy castle into the stratosphere just for a good laugh. Go to bed, Florida, you’re drunk. Again.
