Dog Barks at Waterspout Whirling Along Italian Coastline

A waterspout formed off the coast of Genoa, Italy, on November 7, capturing the attention of several onlookers as well as a particular dog, who would not stop barking as the weather system continued to whirl.

Valentina Marchioni captured the footage as she was walking along Genoa’s Porto Antico tourist promenade. Marchioni’s video shows the waterspout slowly move past a row of waterfront buildings, while the dog, who eventually appears in the video for a moment, can be heard barking off camera.

Genoa has been hit by storms in the past few days, with flooding in the region on November 3 as well as hailstorms and whirlwinds, local media reported.

Il Secolo XIX forecast another storm for the evening of November 7 and morning of November 8.

No structural damage or injuries were reported as a result of the waterspout. Credit: Valentina Marchioni via Storyful
