A rare double waterspout swept across Capri's iconic rock formations on Saturday, according to Euronews footage. The phenomenon—two rotating columns of air and water spinning simultaneously—was captured in video released by the outlet. Such events typically require specific atmospheric conditions: warm water below, unstable air above, and sufficient wind shear to spin the columns into existence.
