            Corrects previous waterspout report from 3 W
            Marathon. A member of the public reported
            seeing twin or sister waterspouts in
            Marathon, FL around 712 pm EDT earlier in
            the evening. The report came in via social
            media with a picture and Broadcast media
            forwarded the photo to us by tagging us in
            the message. The first waterspout on the
            left showed the visible condensation funnel
            extended from the base of the cloud to just
            behind the homes in the picture. The
            condensation funnel was skinny. A little
            later on, a video came in on social media of
            the first waterspout near the Seven-Mile
            Bridge. The condensation funnel was clearly
            more moderate sized and clearly had a robust
            spray ring at the water surface. The second
            waterspout on the right was slightly larger
            with the condensation funnel extending about
            a quarter of the way down from the base of
            the cloud. A spray ring was also not visible
            due to homes and trees obstructing the view.
