The rain bomb moment poured huge amounts of water onto the lake in the Alps into the camera of a videographer.
Peter Maier recorded the phenomenon of microburst weather in the fast-forward video at Lake Millstatt in Austria, reported Nachrichten on June 11. The 27-year-old amateur filmmaker in the city of Basel, Sweden, described the storm as "tsunami from heaven".
Rain bombs are weather accompanied by thunderstorms.
Maier shares the video on personal Facebook with the comment "No one can plan to record these pictures. It's a lucky photo shoot" . Maier's videos quickly fevered with over 1.4 million views and more than 25,000 shares. An account commenting on the scene looked like someone "poured a bucket of water into the lake".
Some viewers consider the video to be a staged product, forcing Maier to add the original. As a climber, Maier always carries 5-6 cameras in his backpack to film the wonders of the natural world.
Rain bombs are weather accompanied by thunderstorms, caused by swirling storms that draw air from above, causing a downward flow of air to the ground or water surface at speeds of up to 275km / h. Some aircraft accidents in history are related to this phenomenon. Therefore, today's crew training includes how to deal with rain bombs.
