Dragon hoses

The appearance of a rainbow near the rainbow, a rare sight, was recorded by a camera in the storm recently in the United States.

Cater News reported yesterday that Peter Gude, a Dutch hunter who specializes in hunting cannons, and colleagues discovered a rare sight in the state of Colorado, USA. Dragon hoses appear in a position a few kilometers from the rainbow.

Rainbows appear because sunlight refracts and reflects through water droplets in the air, creating a dispersion phenomenon.

A water cannon is a phenomenon of a large swirling air that extends from a thundercloud to the ground. The diameter of the hose can vary from a few dozen meters to 2 kilometers, an average of about 50 meters.

In the northern hemisphere, the water cannon often creates a vortex wind counterclockwise, around a center with extremely low air pressure. On the contrary, in the southern hemisphere, the wind formed from the fire hose clockwise. The maximum wind speed can reach 120-500km / h.

Measuring the wind speed of a dragon directly is extremely difficult, because it can destroy many things that appear on the way. It is also impossible to predict the appearance of a water cannon, because they exist only for a short time.
