In case you’re not familiar, a waterspout is a rotating column of air that occurs over a body of water, in this instance the sea, and usually appears as a funnel-shaped cloud in contact with the water.

Another commenter said that the waterspout looks like a ‘stairway to heaven’ while another person kept with the heavenly themes by saying that this looked like the ‘big snake’ travelling to heaven.

A Malaysian in the comments also claimed that such a natural phenomenon is commonplace in Sabah, sometimes 2 waterspouts appear at the same time.
