HOLIDAYS are meant to be relaxing, right?

Russian tourist Evgeny Drokov, 41, was on holiday with his family in the Italian town of Genoa when a spectacular water twister hit the coast.

Drokov immediately grabbed his camera to capture the dramatic display.

The incredible snaps show the stormy skies over Italy, as the water tornado sweeps over the sea.

Dark, blustery clouds filled the sky as the twister pummelled the ocean, with dramatic flashes of lightning and thunder.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Evgeny, said.

“It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, we were about two kilometres away from the tornado on our balcony.

“It was our last morning of family vacation in Genoa before driving back home.

“We had been packing the bags, and then the show began.”

“We could see it so well because the apartment house is located on the heel at a distance — there wasn’t much rain at the time, it was pure luck.”
