At least three children were injured in the incident at Ford Lauderdale on Monday

Fort Lauderdale Police Department posted the news on twitter, stating at the time the condition of the children was unknown.

Later reports stated one child had been seriously injured in the incident though it is unclear if the children were in the bouncy castle when it was thrown into the air.

Waterspouts are narrow, spinning columns of air that reach the ground from thunderstorm clouds. If the funnel touches the ground it becomes a tornado, and if it touches down at sea it becomes a waterspout.
