A water spout was spotted off the coast of Whakatāne this morning.
Kylie Kinghazel captured the amazing footage of the spout after seeing it on her way to drop her children off at the bus stop for school.
"We were coming down the hill and I just looked out over the lookout and saw it as I was driving.
"It was just sitting there on the horizon. We were buzzing out... my kids were extremely excited. They are heading off to school now to tell all their friends about the tornado they've seen."
