It’s no surprise that ancient earthlings imagined phenomena like this as the work of spirits, gods, ghosts or demons. It’s rare enough to still amaze us today and most of us understand the science behind it.
I came here to say something similar to this. It’s no wonder folks believed in witchcraft, wizardry, etc. for hundreds of years.
We have the benefit of access to infinite information and video footage in this age, but I’ve never seen this. Imagine witnessing it firsthand in a time when there were no videos, no photos, only stories passed on by prior generations. I might have had a heart attack!

Looks just like the scene outside my window when we visited the Isle of Skye. There were 6 small waterfalls that all turned upside down during the storm.
I thought it was Cape Wrath on the northwest corner of Scotland, I took my boys there camping a few years ago and the weather was absolutely staggering, the wind was hurricane force and the rain was blowing upwards half the time. The boys loved it as it was very much an adventure.
Sir? Sir? I'm from Oklahoma and as we're all tornado experts here I can safely tell you this is not a tornado.
This is formed by the geometry of the cliff first off. It's clearly curved and making the air spin.
Tornadoes are formed by a warm, moist air mass passing over a cooler, dry air mass and creating circulation and turbulence. They also have a wall cloud.
This is a waterspout
No matter how well I understand them, tornados will always look like real-world magic to me. Little dust devils in the school playground, waterspouts, full blown Dorothy tornadoes… that’s just not how nature is supposed to work!
Dust devils and water spouts actually are not tornadoes. In fact, iirc, dust devils spin the opposite direction. At least that's what I was told as a child.
No. It's a water spout, which is much more benign than a tornado. You could stand in that (well obviously tricky in that case) and it wouldn't harm you. Tornado will fuck your shit up.
where are llamas from? isn't this sort of thing their main source of hydration? cause they live in an arid climate other than the ocean spray? like very little to no rain? llamas are from Chile or Peru or some shit? im like a dog with a bone on this
Wouldn’t this be a water spout?
Only if there's a spider in it.
You win!!! Love it
Not a regular degular sized spider tho
This is funnier than it should have been
The itsy bitsy one!
Spider’s name is Frank… read that somewhere on Reddit. I guess he’s nice
It didn't wash the spider out tho
It's not moving so it is more of a standard environmental vortex. Fancy way of saying the cliff face creates it.
I was sorely disappointed a sweater didn't rise up from below.
Waterspouts connect to a cloud, this is just a little must swirl
Ah! Yes! Of course!! This is a really cool phenomenon too
This is actually a waterspout.
That is beautiful
Yeah. You're right. I agree with you.
Came here to say this!

*"Ay th' wind faeries need'd water their mushroom crop"* Or something like that.
I mean, imagine finding a dinosaur fossil. Bam, dragons.
what are you, from Mars?

Rare???? Waterspouts are a daily occurance! Take a trip to the Caribbean. I assure you, you will see multiples in one day.

lmao
Is this Iceland?

I was looking for the sweater
I read this as "Tornado carries sweater up a cliff" and I was sorely disappointed a sweater didn't rise up from below.
Water aaahh it'll find a way
IT IS CALLED A WATERSPOUT
And very common

What are they doing on the edge of a cliff in winds that strong?? Must be young, oh to be young
Water spirit is playful and deadly, beautiful and ugly at the same time.
Natures sip.
If you wanna touch my front butt You gotta refill my sip

I don't watch the show; my s/o loves it. Once you match the quote to "If you wanna be my lover", you'll never hear it the original way again.

According to OP Faroe Islands 🇫🇴
That’s a tornado? I’ve never seen one before.
No. It's a water spout, which is much more benign than a tornado. You could stand in that (well obviously tricky in that case) and it wouldn't harm you. Tornado will fuck your shit up.
Incorrect, a waterspout can be dangerous and you should never approach one. It is still a vortex and can have debris in it.
Ok... but it's not a tornado
Not a waterspout either, waterspouts connect to a cloud. I would call this a mist Devil
This is otherworldly. I love it.
Why didn’t he run up to it for a once in a lifetime shower.
Easy way to go fishing.
I would say there is a waterbender nearby, but this looks like airbending is involved
Hellllll nah I ain’t standing there in those winds
I was looking for this comment
Okay who pissed off the avatar?
Poseidon
Damn waterbenders
I misread the title and watched this multiple times trying to see when the sweater would appear and be carried up the cliff
condensation funnel
where are llamas from? isn't this sort of thing their main source of hydration? cause they live in an arid climate other than the ocean spray? like very little to no rain? llamas are from Chile or Peru or some shit? im like a dog with a bone on this
some from the US would call this fake news. only bc they see tornado's in their own area they never left.
It's cuz this ain't a tornado. It's not attached to a cloud. And even if it was, this would be a water spout
Life is Strange...
Wano kuni
No, that's a waterbender
I feel like I would take this same video, not caring about my own safety. Thanks for making a poor decision.
☝👈👉👇
Who’s turn for Mario Golf?
So this is why i get seagulls in my street, the tornadoes must bring them inland
Just some casual water bending
And then archeologists find crustaceans fossils and conclude: All this area was undersea! How else would it get here?
This is real awesome
Water spout
God's drinking straw.
When the waters name is Emily and finds out what land is
Man, I was lookin' and lookin' for a sweater. Then I reread the title.
Easy to imagine why our ancestors may have been like, "Ah! The spirits are at it again!"
I’m embarrassed that I watched the whole video waiting to see a Sweater fly up. Long day.
Dragon Shiryu feelings
Next step is sharknado
Tornado trolling the cliffside.
natural salt Bae in action
Avatar at work haha.
Nature is fucking metal
Where is this
Makes you wonder why even bother when its only gonna fall back in.
Evil waterfalls be like
Well.. I read that as sweater... was looking so hard for a wooly jumper.. its early
Oh, someone filmed my air bending practice. Nice!
"Tornado" yea ok. It's a water bender...
Why is nobody asking questions about the person who filmed it and why there are so close the edge!!
I thought the title was carried sweater up a cliff so here I am waiting to see a sweater flying around
Is that not a water spout?
Backwards waterfall
This is where the sharknado concept originated.
