Viral Video: Rainfall can be very inconvenient, causing waterlogging and traffic, but this spectacular rain will leave you in awe of mother nature.
Photographer Peter Maier captured this stunning time-lapse footage of an incredible rainfall over a lake in Lake Millstatt, Austria, that has gone viral. The rainfall in question is not like a regular storm, but something called a microburst. A microburst is a localized column of sinking air within a thunderstorm. They can cause extensive damage at the surface, and in some instances, can be life-threatening.
The time-lapse was captured from quite a high altitude, above the scenery, allowing a clear view of the burst.
The spectacular footage with the title “Tsunami from Heaven” captured the rare rainstorm sweeping the calm lake, a brief moment after the blue sky turned grey. The name is quite apt, as the extraordinary natural phenomenon does look like a tsunami falling from high up in the sky.
The video was first posted on youtube and racked up 2.3 million views.
The footage looks so astonishing that some viewers speculated that it was fake, prompting Maier to upload the original footage on his Facebook.
The video has been reposted on many Instagram pages, with thousands of comments like, “Is this real? If it is, ITS AMAZING!!! Great capture,” and also, “Insane 👏”
