On the afternoon of the 17th, some netizens photographed a rare phenomenon of "dragon absorbing water" near the Heidao sea area of Zhuanghe River in Dalian. In the video, a huge water column soared into the sky and drove straight into the sky. Under constant rotation, the water column became thicker and thicker, and the connected clouds became thicker and thicker, which was very shocking. This spectacle also shocked netizens and exclaimed: Nezha is fighting again. Meteorological experts say 'dragon water absorption' is a tornado that occurs at sea. Netizen comments:
What is tornado water?
Waterspouts are commonly known as dragon absorbing water or dragon hanging water. Water tornado is a tornado that occasionally appears over warm water. Its upper end is connected with thunderstorm clouds, and its lower end extends directly to the water surface, rotating and moving at the same time. An air column water tornado full of moisture and rotating rapidly is no less dangerous than a tornado, and the internal wind speed can exceed 200 kilometers per hour.
Sea tornado is a violent local weather phenomenon with a very short life history. Due to its occurrence, there is no sign at home and abroad that it can make a more accurate prediction, so it is very rare to see the scene of "dragon absorbing water". However, the internal wind speed of these fast rotating air column water tornadoes full of moisture can exceed 200 kilometers per hour, which is no less dangerous than tornadoes. Therefore, when a ship encounters a 'Dragon absorbing water' on the sea, it should avoid it as soon as possible.
