"At that time, the wind and the waves were very fierce. It was getting closer and closer, so many people were worried that they would come to the shore. It continued to violently draft, sucking seawater hundreds of meters high into a shower" Mr. Trung said. After 30 minutes, the water cannon dissolved on the sea, not going to the mainland.

In May, water cannons also appeared on Long Hai sea, Ba Ria - Vung Tau province. More than two months ago, this phenomenon also appeared in Hai Phong and Kien Giang.

Exchanging with PV, Master Le Thi Xuan Lan, former Deputy Head of Forecasting Department of Hydrometeorology in Southern Region, said that the water cannon appeared from very strong thunderstorms in the high, so where there is thunderstorms reverberation is there there may be this phenomenon. Dragon hoses come from the spiral-shaped cloud base and descend to land or sea.

This phenomenon often occurs at the beginning and during the rainy season . The South has many thunderstorms, so there are more cannons than the North. The most common waters are Ba Ria - Vung Tau, especially the waters of Rach Gia - Kien Giang - Tho Chu, sometimes 4 cannons appear at a time. However, water hoses in Vietnam are usually not too strong .

Also according to Lan, water cannons are very dangerous because walking into streaks lasts about several tens to several hundred meters. Its path is like a storm but its range is smaller (about 1/1000). When this phenomenon appears on the sea, there are often high waves, gusts of wind, ships can be swept away, pushed away.

"This phenomenon happens so quickly that it is difficult to prevent. Even the forecast is very difficult to only warn. In emergencies, people on board can only jump into the water to escape," she said. Lan said.
