there are no tornadoes on mainland singapore. what you are seeing is a huge water spout over the sea as seen from mainland singapore...
they are quite common are usually mild but small shipping will steer clear...!

Based on the clubsnap super close up pic, reporters MUST interview those guys on the ship and understand how it is like to be under the water spout
