waterspouts: A water-spout is a large tube formed of clouds by means of the electric fluid, the base being uppermost, and the point let down perpendicularly form the clouds.

These spouts are frequent on the coast of Syria; and no doubt the Psalmist had often seen them, and the ravages which they made.
