It's just been about 5 months since the last famous watersprout was spotted in Singapore. There is a new flurry of excitement as many people watched the water sprout's formation. Obviously, those who are near it get the "front row seat" (the Parkway Parade residents). This water sprout is seen even from Suntec City, even though it occured a distance away at East Coast. Although the water sprout lasted for 15 minutes, it is probably a great experience for many, and to some, it is a nice memory of the most famous water sprout that happened near Sentosa.
Though, water sprouts are actually not uncommon (a few water sprouts occur per year, but most of them are rarely documented), but yet we make a nice fuss about it. Well, it could be that, very few water sprouts occur (within 1 km for visible viewing) close to land. Water sprouts rarely cause damage in-land (if they don't make landfall).
There are no damages reported arising from the phenomenon.
