NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Around 4:00 p.m., a waterspout was spotted on Lake Pontchartrain during storms on Tuesday, Aug. 29.
Emily Hingle said she noticed the waterspout as she was on the Causeway driving from Mandeville to New Orleans.
She took a photo of the waterspout and sent it to WGNO’s Kenny Lopez. Hingle says it looks like it formed in the University of New Orleans area.
Hingle said that after a while, she could no longer see the waterspout because the storms got so heavy.
