A tornado over water is given the name waterspout. Since there was at least some sentiment for believing that waterspouts were in some important way distinguishable from tornadoes, this name caught on. As you can tell from the preceding quotation, I don't believe there is any meaningful difference. Anyway, it rags me that a tornado's name would depend on the underlying surface, so part of the point of this is to come up with silly names, mostly based on what the tornado is currently encountering.
Product description. Water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), also called cottongum, sourgum, swamp tupelo, tupelo-gum, and water-gum, is a large, long-lived tree that grows in southern swamps and flood plains where its root system is periodically under water. It has a swollen base that tapers to a long, clear bole and often occurs in pure stands. A good mature tree will produce commercial timber used for furniture and crates. Many kinds of wildlife eat the fruits and it is a favored honey tree. Water tupelo grows in low, wet flats or sloughs and in deep swamps. Some of the better sites are in the sloughs and swamps along Coastal Plain rivers of the Southeast, such as the Roanoke and Santee, and in the large swamps of southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas.
