A Memorial Day beach bash in Florida was shockingly cut short Monday when a waterspout made it’s way ashore and uprooted an inflatable bounce house, sending it — and the kids playing inside — soaring across a parking lot and into a roadway.

Four children were injured, including one seriously, according to NBC Miami.

They have all been rushed to a nearby hospital.

I doubt it is a tornado. More like a strong dust devil.

Waterspout. We get them every now and then but they usually stay a couple hundred yards offshore. Pretty scary stuff.

Oh my gosh, that is horrible. Prayers for those kids.

They will NEVER get into a bouncy house again. Yikes.

Wow, frightening video. It all happened extremely quickly, for formation on the water to going on shore to hitting the bounce house. Hope the kids are all ok.

Reckon their second language was inglish? Down here bounce house rental companies would go broke if they no habla espanol.

Maybe so, but it’s still a waterspout.
