NAGS HEAD, Outer Banks (WTVD) -- Some tourists on North Carolina's Outer Banks got a show from Mother Nature.



From their rental house, they spotted a massive water spout.



Shannon Arkwright used her cell phone to capture the menacing storm churning near Nags Head.



At first, they thought it was a tornado and wondered if they should run for cover, but in less than a minute the storm was gone and the sun returned.
