A Sharknado occurs when a waterspout (tornado or hurricane over the water) picks up a whole bunch of sharks, and throws them around, causing havoc. The waterspout is the least of the concerns, however, as the rising water allows more sharks to move inland, and into the port cities.

Sharks are carnivorous fish are aggressive and liable to make unprovoked attacks against anything that approaches them. Smaller sharks are from 5 to 8 feet long and not usually dangerous to creatures other than their prey. Large sharks can reach around 15 feet in length and are a serious threat. Huge sharks are true monsters, like great whites, that can exceed 20 feet in length.
Blindsense (Ex): A shark can locate creatures underwater within a 30-foot radius. This ability works only when the shark is underwater.
Keen Scent (Ex): A shark can notice creatures by scent in a 180-foot radius and detect blood in the water at ranges of up to a mile.
Weakness to Fire (Ex): Fire does triple damage to the waterspout of a sharknado. Dealing half or more fire damage to the waterspout's existing hit points in one round will cause the waterspout to dissipate.
