Two waterspouts formed in the Gulf of İskenderun in southern Turkey on Sept. 23, after the area was hit by heavy rains. 

The first waterspout formed over the water around 300 meters off the coast, followed shortly after by the second. The appearance of the waterspouts caused panic among the local residents on the shore. 
The waterspouts advanced towards the shore for around 30 seconds before dissipating.
