Landfall
Landfall is the event of a storm moving over land after being over water. More broadly, and in relation to human travel, it refers to 'the first land that is reached or seen at the end of a journey across the sea or through the air, or the fact of arriving there.[1]
For other uses, see Landfall (disambiguation).Tornado or waterspout[edit]
When a tornadic waterspout makes landfall, it is reclassified as a tornado,[5] which can subsequently cause damage to areas inland. When a fair weather waterspout makes landfall, it usually dissipates quickly due to friction and a reduction in the amount of warm air supplied to the funnel.[6]
