China: Waterspout Spotted Over Qinghai Lake

On October 9, 2024, a spectacular natural phenomenon was captured over Qinghai Lake in Haibei Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, located in northwestern China’s Qinghai Province. In the video, a thick layer of clouds hovered in the sky while a massive column of water shot straight from the lake's surface toward the clouds. This rare event, known as a waterspout, resembled a giant dragon playing in the water, as if linking the lake to the sky. Waterspouts are a type of tornado that forms over water, featuring a rapidly rotating funnel of wind driven by intense low pressure. The breathtaking scene left Chinese onlookers in awe of nature’s power and beauty.
