In a year where rivers in Arizona black run with steam sludge and read “blood cut“defeats the Antarctic Peninsula. You should not be surprised to learn that several waterfalls in south-eastern Australia flowed backwards.
Local News Agency 7NEWS Sydney shared an aerial photo of the phenomenon on Twitter last weekend. Sure enough, as water flows over the cliffs of the coast of New South Wales, the stream creeps up again and splashes backwards on land. Along the way through the recordings, the gravity-defining fog also creates a rainbow that seems to say, “Aw, the apocalypse is so much more beautiful than I imagined!”
Of course, there’s a simple meteorological explanation for this action with inverted waterfall: It’s just a trick of the wind.
A severe warning for wind and surf damage is current for areas Sydney, Central Coast, Mid North Coast, Hunter and Illawarra. Currently, 70 km / h wind gusts produce several reverse waterfalls in the Royal National Park. https://t.co/OF81oZFF1j pic.twitter.com/kQIZlsOnMcAugust 10, 2020
Over the past several days, Sydney and the surrounding coast have been abused by heavy rain, strong winds and rising ocean surf. According to 7NEWS Sydney recorded, wind experts were speeding at 70 km / h (70 km / h) at the Royal National Park south of Sydney, where the video was recorded.
The strong coastal winds were more than enough to temporarily separate the course of the waterfalls – and, unfortunately, they also caused destruction to surrounding communities. Hundreds of New South Wales residents were notified to evacuate their homes for three days in the wake of the storm 7NEWS Sydney reported, although not because of the backward flowing waterfall. The wild weather of the coastline caused rivers to flood and left thousands of homes without power.
The rain has finally subsided, fortunately, and the evacuation board has been lifted, 7NEWS reported. And the waterfalls? Back to majestic tumbling over the cliffs of New South Wales and into the blue, groundless sea. Boring.
